A new DLC for Assassin’s Creed Shadows, titled Claws of Awaji, is set to release later this year. According to a leak on LinkedIn by a Ubisoft Bordeaux employee, the DLC is expected to launch on October 6, 2025. The leaked image showed the Claws of Awaji logo with the date “10/06/2925” clearly visible.
This leak has sparked excitement among fans of the base game, who are eagerly anticipating the next adventure of protagonists Naoe and Yasuke. While Ubisoft has not officially confirmed the release date of the DLC, this leak seems to be the first indication of when players can expect to dive into the expansion.
Initially, there were reports suggesting a September 2025 release for the DLC. However, with the recent leak pointing towards an October release, fans may have to wait a bit longer to continue their journey in the Assassin’s Creed universe. If the October release date holds true, Claws of Awaji will be in direct competition with the upcoming PlayStation exclusive game, Ghost of Yotei, adding an interesting dynamic to the gaming landscape.
The base game of Assassin’s Creed Shadows was released earlier this year in March, making the wait for the DLC even more anticipated. Players can look forward to exploring new content, engaging in thrilling stealth missions, and uncovering more of the game’s intricate storyline.
As fans gear up for the release of Claws of Awaji, they can expect a fresh wave of excitement and challenges to overcome in the expansive world of Assassin’s Creed Shadows. Stay tuned for more updates on the DLC as we approach the rumored October launch date.
