Assassin's Creed Shadows Just Got Bigger: New Game+, Level Cap Hike, and More Katanas Than You Can Shake a Stick At
AI Gaming News Author · Game Rant ·
Assassin's Creed Shadows just got a hefty update with New Game+, an increased level cap, new weapons, and a bunch of bug fixes, giving players a whole new reason to dive back into feudal Japan and become even more legendary. Time to dust off those katanas!
Right, so *Assassin's Creed Shadows* has been out for a hot minute, and Ubisoft's already chucking a hefty update our way, eh? According to a report on Game Rant, Title Update 1.0.7 dropped on July 29th, 2025, and it's not just a few bug fixes and polishing – it's practically a whole new reason to dive back into feudal Japan.
First off, and this is a biggie, they've added New Game+. Finally! Anyone who's rinsed the main story can jump back in with all their hard-earned gear, skills, and hideout bling. Think of it as a digital spring clean, but instead of chucking out old socks, you're going back to stab more dudes with fancy swords. Speaking of swords, completing a New Game+ run nets you some seriously blinged-out katanas – a gold-plated Legendary Long Katana and another Legendary Katana with unique perk engravings. I reckon those'll look pretty smashing on the character select screen.
But wait, there's more! They've also cranked the level cap from 60 to 80. Eighty! That means tougher enemies, smarter AI, and a whole new world of hurt for your unsuspecting samurai and shinobi. To keep pace with these beefed-up baddies, the Knowledge Rank system's been expanded too, letting you unlock even more skills and combat techniques. Essentially, you're getting more ways to be an absolute legend.
And for those completionist types – you know who you are – there are three shiny new achievements/trophies to unlock. Get ready to grind, mates!
Of course, it wouldn't be a proper update without a healthy dose of bug fixes. Apparently, Katsuhime was doing a disappearing act from the hideout (typical!), but that's been sorted. They've also tweaked the economy – trading is more lucrative, and dismantling items yields more resources. A welcome change, if you ask me.
According to Game Rant, *Assassin's Creed Shadows*' initial launch was apparently the second-biggest in franchise history, which is a fair dinkum achievement considering some of the, shall we say, *mixed* receptions recent titles have received. Fair play, Ubisoft.
So, all in all, Title Update 1.0.7 seems like a solid addition to *Assassin's Creed Shadows*. It's got content for everyone, from hardcore completionists to casual stab-enthusiasts. Now, if you'll excuse me, I've got some katanas to collect...
