Ubisoft has responded to the recent leak regarding free battle pass rewards for Assassin’s Creed Shadows in a statement that does not contradict the original report by Eurogamer.
According to the leaked images, the rewards in the Animus Hub for Assassin’s Creed Shadows bear similarities to those previously offered through Ubisoft Connect’s daily and weekly missions. It’s worth noting that Assassin’s Creed has never had a battle pass system before, and Ubisoft has yet to reveal how this new system will function within the franchise.
In response to the leak, Ubisoft took to social media to address the situation and clarify any misconceptions. They emphasized that all rewards in the Animus Hub will be completely free, with no paid subscriptions or battle pass features. Players can expect regular content updates and missions at no additional cost. More details about Assassin’s Creed Shadows will be unveiled closer to its launch in February 2025.
During a recent BAFTA event in London, franchise director Marc-Alexis Coté discussed the future of the series, particularly in handling the modern-day narrative following the departure of original protagonist Desmond. Coté acknowledged the challenges of maintaining consistency but expressed optimism for the upcoming release of Assassin’s Creed Shadows.
For further insights from Coté on addressing creative backlash and Ubisoft’s commitment to delivering quality games, refer to Eurogamer’s coverage. Ubisoft’s response to the leak offers reassurance to fans eagerly anticipating the release of Assassin’s Creed Shadows and hints at exciting updates to come in the near future.
