Ubisoft Québec is shaking up the Sengoku period with Title Update 1.1.6 for Assassin's Creed Shadows. Arriving November 25, 2025, this patch does more than just squash bugs—it introduces a limited-time Attack on Titan collaboration and, more importantly, bridges the gap between Naoe and Yasuke's playstyles with new cross-training abilities.
Titans Breach the Historical Wall
In a move that bends historical immersion for the sake of anime spectacle, a new "Titans of Nature" collaboration quest runs from November 25 to December 22. While you shouldn't expect the Colossal Titan to actually stomp through Kyoto, this limited-time event offers unique rewards for players who jump in during the window. For those looking to fully commit to the aesthetic, an Attack on Titan Dual Pack featuring cosmetics and a mount is hitting the in-game store simultaneously.
Cross-Training Changes the Meta
The most significant gameplay shift in Update 1.1.6 is the addition of a new story quest titled "A Puzzlement." This isn't just filler content; completing it unlocks vital skills that address the specific limitations of our dual protagonists:
- Naoe's Combat Buff: The shinobi learns Yasuke's "War Kick." This gives Naoe a reliable crowd-control tool when stealth breaks, allowing her to create space without relying solely on smoke bombs.
- Yasuke's Stealth Buff: The samurai finally learns non-lethal stealth takedowns. This is a massive quality-of-life change for Yasuke mains who want to engage with stealth mechanics without being forced to kill every guard in the compound.
What bugs are being squashed?
Beyond the new content, the developers have addressed endgame fatigue by tweaking the RNG for Corrupted Castles. The update specifically reduces the chance of repeating the same castle layouts back-to-back, which should keep the loop feeling fresher. The patch also fixes the Sword of Fathoms transmog exploit and improves Daisho distribution.
The update goes live on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S on November 25. If you want those Attack on Titan rewards, make sure to log in before the event concludes on December 22.
