"You would think stabbing a foe with a sword was enough. But a new update for Assassin's Creed Shadows will let you twist the weapon, elbow the enemy in the face, and then stab them again in the head. It's pretty gnarly, and it's part of title update 1.1.7, which is planned to start arriving December 16. On the Ubisoft website, the patch notes highlight the bloody new finishers, saying they "bring more flair to your encounters." The official Assassin's Creed account on YouTube shared a video--seen below--showcasing the gruesome maneuvers for Naoe and Yasuke."
"The new update also brings quite a few improvements to the recently released Switch 2 edition of Assassin's Creed Shadows. Ubisoft says that frame rate issues have been addressed, along with "various visual issues." However, this title update will come a day later, December 17, on Switch 2. Earlier this month, Ubisoft confirmed that Assassin's Creed Shadows won't get a second DLC expansion. The Claws of Awaji expansion came out for the stealth-action game in September. In November, the Assassin's Creed franchise overall exceeded Ubisoft's expectations for the company's last financial quarter."
"The full patch notes for title update 1.1.7 are below: PATCH SIZES: Xbox Series X|S: 16.64GB PlayStation 5: 4.53GB Nintendo Switch 2: 3.66GB PC: 13.06GB Steam: 6GB MAC: 9GB PATCH HIGHLIGHTS: NEW FINISHER ANIMATIONS We heard your feedback and are bringing new finishers to combat! Bring more flair to your encounters with a fresh set of finisher animations. Both Naoe and Yasuke now have expanded ways to end fights in style with more cinematic flair and brutality."
Title update 1.1.7 for Assassin's Creed Shadows introduces expanded and more brutal finisher animations for protagonists Naoe and Yasuke, enabling new cinematic kill maneuvers. The update begins rolling out December 16 on most platforms and December 17 for Nintendo Switch 2, and addresses Switch 2 frame rate and various visual issues. Patch sizes vary by platform, with Xbox Series X|S at 16.64GB and Nintendo Switch 2 at 3.66GB. The update also adds content labeled Animus Rift: Lost and Found. Ubisoft confirmed no second DLC after Claws of Awaji, and the franchise exceeded recent financial expectations.
