Six months on, and Assassin's Creed Shadows has long since faded into the general live-service background susurrus that underlies all of videogames. It has its players, its haters, its curious onlookers—but the fires of capital-d Discourse have been burnt out for a while.
Which is quite nice, honestly, but it doesn't mean Ubisoft doesn't have a crack squad of dedicated and alarmingly French (or so I like to imagine) developers working on updates and DLC for the game. Its first expansion—Claws of Awaji—is due out on September 16, and to lay the groundwork, the studio put out a big ol' 1.1.1 update for the game today.
