so good stealth, gameplay mechanics and combat and world exploration, trash everything else?

ASC is only significantly better when it comes to stealth and in the technical side of graphics (GOY, however, has stronger artistry and more "wow" moments). In every other aspect, ASC falls short.

AC Shadows Title Update 1.1.4

Hello everyone,

Tomorrow, October 28, we will be releasing Title Update 1.1.4 for Assassin's Creed Shadows @ 14:00 UTC / 10:00 AM EDT / 7:00 AM PT.

Patch Highlights

Corrupted Castles

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. They will now 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.

New Parkour Update

Following our first Parkour update, we've listened to your feedback and we're coming back with more! The team has made some tweaks and improvements to enhance your experience traversing Feudal Japan.

Here are the main changes and additions!

Advanced Parkour Feature

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. *Time to risk life and limb for those death-defying parkour runs!

A lot of little tweaks here but I think the biggest addition is the directional catch ledge being brought back from AC2:

AC Shadows Title Update 1.1.6 - Release Notes

Hello everyone,

Tomorrow, November 25, we will be releasing Title Update 1.1.6 for Assassin's Creed Shadows @ 14:00 UTC / 9:00 EDT / 6:00 PT.

Patch Highlights

Special Collaboration: Attack On Titan

With a kidnapped Titan-Shifter as their weapon, a mysterious, power-hungry faction has infiltrated feudal Japan, setting their sights on total domination.

But when an attempt to rescue the Shifter fails, the lone survivor (with a dark secret) recruits Naoe and Yasuke to help her stop the group from unleashing the terror of a Titan on Japan.

Please note that this is a time-limited quest that is available from November 25th - December 22nd.

The quest giver is in the Yamashiro region, North of Hanazo Tower (the icon is displayed on the map). Note that the quest will not be within the objective board until the player interacts with the quest giver.

Unlock conditions: Unlock Yasuke as a playable character.

During the quest, players can find customization for their hideout (banners and a statue) and upon quest completion, players will earn a crystal katana for Naoe.

New Story Quest: A Puzzlement

Who is up for some friendly competition?

"A Puzzlement" is the 3rd story drop coming to Assassin's Creed Shadows. In this fun and humorous quest, Naoe and Yasuke encounter two old acquaintances having a loud argument about a mysterious door in south Wakasa. They task our protagonists with figuring out how to open it.

During the quest, Naoe and Yasuke will learn new skills from each other:

• Naoe will learn how to perform her own spectacular version of Yasuke's war kick ability.
• Yasuke will learn how to stealthily dispatch enemies in a non-lethal way.

You may also finally be able to settle the debate as to who would win in a straight up duel between our two protagonists. Have no fear, the duel is purely friendly, and totally harmless.

As the name suggests, "A Puzzlement", also introduces a brand new and intricate environmental puzzle for players to discover.

I just got this for $30 recently coming off of Rise of Ronin which I liked, I just can't get enough of exploring Japan.

Only about 10 hours in so far and the last AC game I played was Odyssey which I absolutely loved, and I'm shocked there's only 2 equipment slots, head and body. Kind of a step back sadly.

Have they changed the voice dub in this game since launch?
