Overview

  • Patch 1.1.8 went live on February 17 and reintroduces manual jumping when Advanced Parkour is enabled, allowing Naoe and Yasuke to jump at any time.
  • The update adds a detailed stats and loadout view, clearer critical‑hit visuals, an easier Animus entry in the hideout, and a wide set of fixes and balance tweaks.
  • Download sizes vary by platform, with about 1.73GB on PS5, roughly 13.24GB on PC via the Ubisoft launcher, and about 15.77GB on Xbox Series X|S, while Steam, Switch 2, and PS5 receive smaller downloads.
  • A limited‑time parkour challenge is now open, requiring one unedited 45–60 second YouTube clip submitted before March 8 and shared on X with #ACShadowsParkourChallenge for a chance at showcases or prizes.
  • The winter roadmap sets March dates, with the Claws of Awaji expansion arriving on Switch 2 on March 10 and first‑anniversary livestreams and giveaways planned for March 20.
