Parkour Gets a Feudal Upgrade in Title Update 10
On October 28, 2025, Title Update 10 rolls out Parkour Update 2, introducing an Advanced Parkour toggle that lets you pull off new moves like wall-running combos and precise ledge grabs. This ties directly into the game's feudal Japan setting, where navigating castle rooftops and bamboo forests feels more fluid—think chaining assassinations as Naoe without breaking immersion. Plus, a new Animus activity called 'Corrupted Castles' adds replayable challenges that test these skills against corrupted guardians, expanding the world's lore with hints at hidden Templar influences in the late Sengoku period.
What New Skills Come in the November Story Drop?
Title Update 11 hits November 25, 2025, with the free story drop 'A Puzzlement,' unlocking new abilities for both protagonists. Naoe might gain puzzle-solving gadgets that delve deeper into Iga Province mysteries, while Yasuke could wield enhanced combat techniques drawing from his historical legend. A second special collaboration is teased, potentially blending in elements from other franchises to enrich the narrative weave of their intertwined destinies.
