Assassin's Creed Shadows Title Update 1.1.4: Patch notes

1) Corrupted Castles

Corrupted Castles will boast Corrupted Samurai Daishos (Image via Ubisoft)

Corrupted Castles are a new Animus-themed activity allowing you to revisit castles in a whole new way. Previously completed castles may now become corrupted. Here are the details:

• Corrupted Castles will be filled with Animus anomalies such as Corrupted Samurai Daisho that patrol with heightened aggression and altered patterns.
• Kill them all to unlock a Corrupted Castle's chest that awards Gear and Gold, making each assault a meaningful experience.
• Starting at level 30 and after completing at least 3 castles, up to five corrupted castles will appear on the map each season, giving you plenty of opportunities to re-engage the castles at higher levels for greater rewards.

2) Advanced Parkour Feature

Advanced Parkour adds new elements to the movement mechanics (Image via Ubisoft)

We are adding a new toggle option named "Advanced Parkour" that gives players more freedom of expression. When toggled through the gameplay menu, it removes all parkour barriers, meaning you can perform side and back ejects from any height.

Side & Back Ejects

• The Advanced Parkour option also brings refined control for side and back ejects. Pressing Parkour Up while jumping to the side or back will still give you the height to reach your landing spot. This has not changed since the previous parkour update.
• However, if a decent landing spot is not available, you will now launch sideways or behind as far as possible, without any height restriction.

Side Eject Down

• Performing a side eject with parkour down will send you downward at a sharp angle, generally closer to your starting point, meaning you will never gain any height.

---

3) General Parkour Improvements

Here are the overall parkour improvements (the ones that will work whether you toggle the Advanced Parkour option on/off):

Vertical Ledge Grab (Non-Standing Objects)

• We are extending the Vertical Ledge Grab ability to now include Non-Standing Objects such as beams, lanterns, and more.

Manual Jump (Non-Standing Objects)

• From the same Non-Standing Objects, we are introducing a new Manual Jump option. This enables you to refine the parkour experience by making creative shortcuts when running along rooftops or beams.
• This is not a full manual jump. This only works from Non-Standing Objects.

Directional Catch Ledge

• We are reintroducing a highly requested feature called the Directional Catch Ledge. Simply press towards the nearest ledge and tap the Parkour Up button to catch that ledge and prevent your character from falling.
• This works from any height, and it is particularly useful when combined with the Advanced Parkour option, or when you overestimate your grapple hook dismounts.

4) Gold weapons

New legendary weapons are being added (Image via Ubisoft)

While the Gold Katana and Long Katana introduced in Title Update 1.1.2 are still bound to New Game +, we've added new Gold weapons that can be earned by completing the following challenges.

• Tanto: Complete all Legendary Sumi-e
• Bow: Complete all Horse Archery
• Kusarigama: Complete all Meditation
• Naginata - Complete all Kata
• Kanabo: Reach level 100
• Teppo: Reach Hideout level 13

---

5) Anomalies

We will be reducing the number of Keys available in the Infinite Reward tier from 400 to 100 Keys. We strongly encourage you to activate a different Project once all main rewards have been claimed, as this is a great way to unlock new content and get more Keys. Here are the details:

• In the Projects menu, the Anomalies tab will now be accessible from the rewards page instead of the menu's landing page.
• With the release of Corrupted Castles, a related Anomaly will be available in every weekly rotation to award Data Fragments for completing this new activity.
