Assassin’s Creed Shadows Releases Attack on Titan Update, Here Are the Patch Notes

The recently announced Attack on Titan update for Assassin’s Creed Shadows has today gone live alongside numerous other changes to the open-world action game. Within the past day, Ubisoft announced that it would soon be bringing content from the acclaimed anime series Attack on Titan to AC Shadows as part of an event that would run for the better part of the next month. Now, for those eager to check out this event sooner rather than later, the patch that adds this content is downloadable at this moment.

As a whole, title update version 1.1.6 for Assassin’s Creed Shadows is a pretty major one. Most prominently, Ubisoft has added a new quest and a lineup of cosmetics that are all related to Attack on Titan. This content will remain in the game from November 25th until December 22nd, at which point it will vanish.

Outside of this Attack on Titan crossover, AC Shadows has also added a new story quest called “A Puzzlement” that players can dive into. While these stand as the biggest additions to Shadows with this patch, Ubisoft has also made dozens of other fixes that impact gameplay, visuals, and the overall performance of the game. Other quests that were previously bugged have also now been resolved, along with one error that was specifically impacting those on Xbox platforms.

If you would like to see everything that has changed with this new Attack on Titan-themed update for Assassin’s Creed Shadows, the full patch notes are attached below.

Assassin’s Creed Shadows Update 1.1.6 Patch Notes

Special Collaboration: Attack On Titan

With a kidnapped Titan-Shifter as their weapon, a mysterious, power-hungry faction has infiltrated feudal Japan, setting their sights on total domination.

But when an attempt to rescue the Shifter fails, the lone survivor (with a dark secret) recruits Naoe and Yasuke to help her stop the group from unleashing the terror of a Titan on Japan.

New Story Quest: A Puzzlement

Who is up for some friendly competition?

“A Puzzlement” is the 3rd story drop coming to Assassin’s Creed Shadows. In this fun and humorous quest, Naoe and Yasuke encounter two old acquaintances having a loud argument about a mysterious door in south Wakasa. They task our protagonists with figuring out how to open it.
