00:00Hi, Assassins!
00:03Simon here with a brand-new post-launch update for Assassin's Creed Shadows.
00:07And I'm Dan, community developer.
00:11We're back with another juicy update to get you up to speed
00:14on everything coming to Assassin's Creed Shadows during the summer.
00:17Okay, so it's been a very busy springtime around the office.
00:21First, we had our special collaboration with Dead by Daylight
00:24and the addition of Critical Role's Rufino as an ally for your hideout.
00:29Plus, we've added a ton of requested mechanic with our first parkour update,
00:34new HUD customization settings,
00:36the option of wearing headgear in cutscenes,
00:38a few photomode upgrades,
00:40and of course, our brand-new Nightmare difficulty setting.
00:44Here's a look at some winners of our recent photomode contest
00:47from our official Discord server.
00:54But enough about the past, Dan.
00:56We're here to talk about the future.
00:58Now, summer's here, obviously.
01:00And here's what you can expect in the next couple of months.
01:03Three words, New Game Plus.
01:06You've asked for it, and now we're ready to deliver.
01:08So, New Game Plus will be available to you as soon as you complete the last story mission
01:13and the credits have rolled.
01:14Opting in will reset your story progression,
01:17your objective board progression, as well as your discovered location.
01:21But, don't worry, your character level, your required gear, your knowledge rank,
01:26as well as your precious hideout progression will remain untouched.
01:29When launching New Game Plus, you can either start from the very beginning,
01:32reliving the events of the Tencho War in IGA,
01:35or you can skip right over the prologue to the moment where Naoe inherits the hideout from Tomiko.
01:41Either way, we made sure that none of the basic tutorials will bother you on your second playthrough.
01:46We're increasing the level cap from 60 to 80 for all players,
01:50and introducing brand new knowledge ranks, new mastery and knowledge skill ranks,
01:56and new upgrades for all hideout buildings, including two new upgrades for Heiji's Forge.
02:01New Game Plus is also the perfect opportunity to switch between Naoe and Yasuke,
02:05and experience things differently than however it went on your first playthrough.
02:09And if you manage to beat New Game Plus once again,
02:12we'll have a bunch of rewards that are unique to you and give you a ton of bragging rights.
02:17July is also when you can expect Project 3 to appear.
02:20There will be new resources, data files, and exclusive Animus-themed rewards for you to collect.
02:25Remember, if you're still working on the first two projects,
02:28you can either finish them up or swap to the new project.
02:32There's no time pressure.
02:35Join us on Reddit later this summer for our next AMA
02:38with members of the Assassin's Creed Shadows development team.
02:41It will be the perfect place to ask your questions and learn more about what we're cooking.
02:45And lastly, we're going to be adding a bunch of highly requested features,
02:48such as the ability to unfog the map by completing every single viewpoint per region,
02:54and last but not least, the ability to fast-forward time of day.
02:59I know, I know.
03:01Some of us designers were quite resistant to give it to you guys, myself included.
03:06But we've heard you, and now we're giving it to you.
03:09You guys win on this one.
03:10So do we want to announce the date for Clause of Awaji?
03:13Yeah, no, yeah, I think we have footage for that, right?
03:16That's right. Mark your calendars, folks. Clause of Awaji will be available on September 16th,
03:28and it's going to be free for all of you who've pre-ordered the game.
03:31That's it for our summer plans. New Game Plus is coming July 29th, our AMA will happen in August,
03:37and the Clause of Awaji will release on September 16th.
03:40And if you haven't already, join our official Discord server and share your wildest wishes for future content in Assassin's Creed Shadows.
03:46Happy hunting, Assassins.
03:49What's up, Dan?
