The last Assassin's Creed Shadows update has arrived, and it brings substantial new content. Update 1.1.11 serves as the game's final patch, introducing fresh additions for the last time.
Release Time and Date
The final update for Assassin's Creed Shadows is available today, Tuesday, June 16, across all platforms. It goes live at 3 PM BST, 10 AM EST, and 7 AM PST. The update size varies by platform: Xbox Series X/S requires 26.1 GB, PlayStation 5 needs 10.01 GB, PC requires 21.69 GB, Steam needs 10 GB, Nintendo Switch 2 requires 9.5 GB, and Mac requires 9 GB. The Nintendo Switch 2 update is smaller partly because the Black Flag Resynced crossover content is not included, as the remake will not be released on that platform.
New Content in Update 1.1.11
Ubisoft has added two new crossover Projects in the Animus HUB: Riptides and Undertow. These offer new themed outfits, weapons, and trinkets. A new free story quest called Black Tides is also included, where two elite Templars hunt protagonists Naoe and Yasuke. To unlock Black Tides, players must complete Naoe and Yasuke's main story and two post-launch quests: A Critical Encounter and A Puzzlement.
For players at Level 30 or above, a new Animus activity called Domains provides end-game content. This event features five new gameplay scenarios across ten challenge levels, testing RPG build crafting skills. Rewards are exclusive to Domains and will never be available in the store. Additionally, a new Animus Rift called Horizon opens once the two previous Rifts are completed.
