Of the two protagonists, the samurai&#8217;s story was most in need of closure following the Naoe-focused Claws of Awaji add-on last year. A teaser released today suggests we&#8217;ll also get a little more Animus story, too, via a fresh rift.<\/p>\n<p><span data-cy=\"slideshow-view-trigger\"><\/p>\n<div data-cy=\"slideshow-preview\" class=\"jsx-1711207865 slideshow-preview\">\n<h3 class=\"title5 jsx-62124236 jsx-1085005187\" data-cy=\"slideshow-preview-title\">The Complete Assassin&#8217;s Creed Timeline<\/h3>\n<div data-cy=\"slideshow-images-container\" class=\"jsx-1711207865 images-container\"><button type=\"button\" data-cy=\"hero-image\" aria-label=\"Open Slideshow\" class=\"jsx-1711207865 hero-image\">&lt;img alt=&quot;Assassin\u2019s Creed Shadows may be the latest game in the long-running series, but its feudal Japan setting places it at the midpoint of the series\u2019 historical timeline. That\u2019s because Assassin\u2019s Creed doesn\u2019t progress chronologically; this long-running franchise hops forwards and backwards in time between each entry, exploring significant events from as far back as the Peloponnesian War in Ancient Greece, and right up to the dawn of the First World War.<br \/>\n<\/br><\/p>\n<p>With 14 games in the mainline series and counting, the timeline of these events is increasingly complex. That\u2019s why IGN has pored over every scrap of lore to make sense of the series&#8217; centuries-spanning timeline, the overarching story, and how the games all fit together. The result is this timeline, which covers all the key events in the Assassin\u2019s Creed timeline in chronological order.&#8221; decoding=&#8221;async&#8221; class=&#8221;progressive-image jsx-2896921488 image aspect-ratio aspect-ratio-16-9 jsx-2605834259 jsx-2338608387 hover-opacity&#8221; loading=&#8221;lazy&#8221; src=&#8221;https:\/\/imdbnews.ir\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/ubisoft-bids-farewell-to-assassins-creed-shadows-with-final-story-update.gif&#8221; data-cy=&#8221;progressive-image&#8221;&gt;<span class=\"button-text jsx-729543028 button button--primary jsx-3381835873 jsx-4266531355 row-pagination-button next contained centered round large\" data-cy=\"paginate next\" title=\"Open Slideshow\"><span class=\"ign-icon right-chevron jsx-2750866048 jsx-2919720488\" role=\"presentation\" aria-hidden=\"true\" data-cy=\"right-chevron\"><\/span><\/span><\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Another major addition is Domains, an endgame challenge mode where gear-loving fans will be tasked with min-maxing builds to conquer brutal combat arenas. Exclusive endgame gear will be offered as rewards, including what looks to be some legacy items (Eivor&#8217;s axe from Valhalla?).<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Two new Animus projects will also be unlocked, and intriguingly, at least one of these will be progressable in Black Flag Resynced as well. You can get the leap on this now by playing Shadows, where you&#8217;ll unlock Edward Kenway&#8217;s Assassin robes for Naoe and Blackbeard&#8217;s outfit for Yasuke, as well as additional lore.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">And that&#8217;s your lot. While there&#8217;s still understandable excitement for the brilliant Black Flag&#8217;s return, tomorrow&#8217;s final update for Shadows marks the end of an era for the franchise \u2014 one which many fans who had spent a decade wishing for a samurai-set entry may feel didn&#8217;t entirely go to plan.<\/p>\n<p><span data-cy=\"slideshow-view-trigger\"><\/p>\n<div data-cy=\"slideshow-preview\" class=\"jsx-1711207865 slideshow-preview\">\n<h3 class=\"title5 jsx-62124236 jsx-1085005187\" data-cy=\"slideshow-preview-title\">Assassin&#8217;s Creed Shadows: Claws of Awaji Screenshots<\/h3>\n<div data-cy=\"slideshow-images-container\" class=\"jsx-1711207865 images-container\"><button type=\"button\" data-cy=\"hero-image\" aria-label=\"Open Slideshow\" class=\"jsx-1711207865 hero-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Assassin&apos;s Creed Shadows: Claws of Awaji screenshot.\" class=\"progressive-image jsx-2896921488 image aspect-ratio aspect-ratio-16-9 jsx-2605834259 jsx-2338608387 hover-opacity\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/imdbnews.ir\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/ubisoft-bids-farewell-to-assassins-creed-shadows-with-final-story-update.gif\" data-cy=\"progressive-image\"><span class=\"button-text jsx-729543028 button button--primary jsx-3381835873 jsx-4266531355 row-pagination-button next contained centered round large\" data-cy=\"paginate next\" title=\"Open Slideshow\"><span class=\"ign-icon right-chevron jsx-2750866048 jsx-2919720488\" role=\"presentation\" aria-hidden=\"true\" data-cy=\"right-chevron\"><\/span><\/span><\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">From various controversies that distracted attention pre-launch, a high-profile delay, and reports that more post-launch content was shelved, Shadows will certainly go down as a memorable entry in the Assassin&#8217;s Creed saga \u2014 although maybe not always for all the right reasons.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">&#8220;Here we are, at the end of all things,&#8221; noted Shadows assistant game director Simon Lemay-Comtois, who has been the public face of the game&#8217;s post-launch content updates over the past year. &#8220;We really hope you&#8217;ll enjoy what we&#8217;ve been cooking for this last chapter of Sengoku-era Japan.
