Assassin's Creed Shadows update adds nightmare difficulty, an "open-world alarm" system," a potato mode for low-end PCs, and a new story quest crossing over with D&D series Critical Role

Critical Role character Rufino appears in Assassin's Creed Shadows.

Ubisoft's post-launch support for Assassin's Creed Shadows continues apace with another chunky update arriving on June 25. The publisher has just revealed the full patch notes for Title Update 1.0.6, with upgrades ranging from a new high-end difficulty setting to a free bit of story DLC crossing over with long-running D&D web series Critical Role.

The update launches June 25 at 7am PT / 10am ET / 3pm BST, as Ubisoft details in a new Steam blog, and depending on your platform of choice you might wanna budget a little extra time to download it. On PS5, the update is 6.27GB, and that size grows progressively bigger through various PC versions up to the Xbox Series X/S edition at a whopping 19GB.
