Assassin’s Creed Shadows Update 1.0.5 Out Tomorrow, Full Patch Notes Revealed

Ubisoft has assured an Assassin’s Creed Shadows update late in May, and now it’s been thoroughly outlined before its debut on the 27th.

Anticipated to be approximately 3.3GB on PS5, patch 1.0.5 features the previously hinted at Dead by Daylight crossover mission, along with enhancements to parkour, additions to the photo mode, and… a hidden Balatro challenge?

The Dead by Daylight collaboration reportedly has Naoe confronting a “daunting supernatural menace,” and you’ll need to utilize “distinct mechanics” to complete the mission. Triumph, and you will unlock a themed trinket and banner.

A Dead by Daylight DLC pack will also be accessible in the store, “featuring outfits, weaponry, trinkets” and a mount. It’s unfortunate that more of this content isn’t integrated into the complimentary quest.

Regarding the Balatro connection, the patch documentation reveals little — it appears players will need to decipher it on their own.

Moreover, an additional quest named ‘Thrown to the Dogs’, previously exclusive for pre-orders, will now be accessible to all.

Assassin’s Creed Shadows Update 1.0.5 Patch Notes

Thrown to the Dogs

With this update, every player will gain access to the pre-order bonus quest, “Thrown to the Dogs”.

This quest becomes available early in the game after completing “From Spark to Flame”.

Dead by Daylight Event

This event introduces a brand new free mission that you can access from the Hideout after unlocking Yasuke as a playable character. Once the event concludes, you will receive a free trinket and banner.

Balatro Trinket

We are also incorporating a new trinket for Naoe, and an amulet for Yasuke called “Winning Hand” — directly inspired by Balatro. These new items boast a legendary advantage that grants you a chance to activate a random affliction effect on combo conclusions.

Now… you’ll need to collaborate to discover how to obtain it!

Bugs Resolved

General

• Resolved the issue where players received a constant New Item alert in their inventory. We did it!
• Addressed an issue where certain players were given a new save file at level 60, complete with gear and all objectives revealed.
• Fixed an issue wherein the desynchronization warning for ‘killing civilians’ would appear without any cause.
• Corrected a problem where romancing Lady Oichi prior to romancing Rin could result in a breakup.
• Fixed various localization discrepancies.

Balancing

• Resolved an issue where the Samurai Daisho and Ronin occasionally yielded an exceedingly high amount of Mon, regardless of their level, discouraging other methods of acquiring Mon.
• We have also partially rebalanced the Mon economy to promote more world exploration and gameplay activities to earn Crafting Materials and Hideout Resources instead of simply buying them through merchants.
• In pursuit of this, we’ve increased the cost of Crafting Materials and Hideout Resources sold by Merchants and decreased the quantity available each season for each Merchant.
• If you still want to buy them, we’ve augmented the amount of Mon earned from completing contracts.

World

• Fixed an issue where Yagoro would get trapped in a Kofun and fail to return to the hideout.
• Addressed an issue where players could become stuck inside the construction site at Osaka Castle.

Quests

• Fixed an issue where players could not exit the quest “Vision of Realms” if they selected ‘Quit to Memories’ and loaded their progress from the Animus Memories menu.
• Resolved an issue where quitting during the “Nobutsuna Sensei” quest caused Yasuke to become trapped in the flashback.
• Fixed a problem where Yaya does not join “The League” after being successfully recruited.
• Rectified progress issues in the “Showdown in Sakamoto” quest which occurred if Katsuhime had previously died.
• Resolved an issue in the “Wake Up Call” quest where the “troublemaker” could not be chased down.
• Fixed an issue in the “Find Local Dishes” quest where Narezushi could not be procured from merchants.
• Corrected an issue in the “Wolves and Foxes” quest where players were unable to interact with Hattori Hanzo. I guess we’ll allow you to converse with him now.
• Fixed an issue where players could not progress in “A Peculiar Guest”.
• Resolved an issue where players could not finish the “Missing Missive” quest due to being unable to retrieve the letter.
• Fixed an issue where the game would crash during the “Temple of the Horseman (An Eye for an Eye)” quest.
• Addressed an issue in the “Diary of Lady Rokkaku” quest wherein Katsuhime’s letter would sometimes vanish. You have received mail!
• Fixed an issue where the game mistakenly believed Katsuhime was deceased, causing players to be unable to complete the “Diary of Lady Rokkaku” quest.
• Resolved an issue where players were unable to finish the “Diary of Lady Rokkaku” quest because Naoe and Katsuhime were attached to surrounding water. They just wanted to enjoy a little swim!
• Fixed an issue where players could not complete the “Diary of Lady Rokkaku” quest since Katsuhime dropped into the water and swam to shore.

Stealth

• Resolved an issue where the Shinobi Bell effect was obstructed by the line of sight from NPCs.

Combat

• Adjusted an issue where the +600% affliction buildup engravings had a text error. It has now been corrected to reflect the accurate build-up amount of 6%.

Visuals and Graphics

• Corrected visual issues.
• Fixed several problems where the “Kaen” and “Sekiryu” mounts would not fit properly in the stables.
• Resolved a visual issue with the “Samurai Daimyo Armor”.
