The promised news must be related to the first expansion of Assassin’s Creed Shadows, which will be called Claws of Awaji. Scheduled to be launched in 2025, the expansion will bring a new story, taking players to an unprecedented map where they will unravel the secret of a lost treasure. Remembering that Claws of Awaji will be given free to everyone who purchased the base game during pre-sale.

Recently, CEO Yves Guillemot revealed that the game’s budget has exceeded € 100 million (approximately $ 116 million), although it preferred not to reveal the full value.
