Assassin’s Creed Shadows Gets Day-One Patch, brings changes to in-game Temples and Shrines

Ubisoft has released a day-one patch for Assassin’s Creed Shadows, bringing a number of changes to the game’s Temples and Shrines besides fixing several gameplay related issues, which results in a more polished experience for all players. Releasing to commercial and critical success just after release, Assassin’s Creed Shadows has proven itself to be the turnaround success Ubisoft desperately needed, in more ways than one. And with the release of a quick, day-one patch, the publisher is making sure that the devs remain committed to promptly iron out any issues that players might experience in the game, which is always great for all gamers.

Below are the complete patch notes for Assassin’s Creed Shadows’ Day One Update:

• Players no longer getting stuck inside movable objects after dodging forward and interacting with them in kofuns
• Fix for procedural weapons being removed incorrectly when selling items
• Adjustments to prevent players from going out of bounds when proning against objects
• Improved horse navigation, reducing issues with turning and blocked paths
• Lighting adjustments for cave, kofun, and architectural entrances/exits
• Fixes for cloth clipping on Yasuke’s outfits (while riding) and Naoe’s outfits (while crouching)
• Citizens without weapons no longer bleed when attacked, reducing unintended blood spill in temples/shrines
• Tables and racks in temples/shrines are now indestructible (Some objects like drums or bowls can still be broken as they are generic ones present everywhere in the world) (Tables are still dynamic objects, so players can still move/push them).

The most notable change in the patch is the reduced blood spill for the game’s citizens when attacked along with a degree of indestructible objects in the game’s Temples and Shrines which will help to maintain their cultural integrity. Both of these impact the game’s locales in several ways which suggest these changes were included to avoid any controversy regarding the representation of Japan in Assassin’s Creed Shadows in future.

Assassin’s Creed Shadows came out on March 20 for Playstation 5, Xbox Series X|S and the PC platform.
