🗡️ Assassin’s Creed Shadows Reveals Summer Roadmap: New Game+, Level Cap Increase & More!

[kevin1]

Ubisoft just dropped fresh intel on Assassin’s Creed Shadows, and there’s a lot for shinobi-in-training to be excited about. Mark your calendars for July 29, because we’re getting New Game+, a level cap boost, and a mysterious update called Project 3. Here’s the breakdown:
New Game+ Arrives July 29

Finished the main story but not ready to hang up your hidden blade? New Game+ lets you restart the story while keeping your character level, gear, skill points, Knowledge rank, and Hideout progress.

No more slow re-grinds — just dive back into feudal Japan stronger and wiser than before. Perfect for those chasing 100% or just wanting to slice through guards with god-tier gear.
️ Level Cap Raised: From 60 to 80

Whether you're in NG+ or still on your first playthrough, your assassin just got more room to grow. The new cap brings:

New Knowledge Ranks

Mastery and Knowledge Skill upgrades

More advanced Hideout building upgrades (one drops July 29, another in a later Summer update)

More levels, more skills, more ways to flex on your enemies.
🧬 Project 3 Teased

Coming alongside the July 29 update, Project 3 will introduce:

New resources

Collectible data files

Exclusive Animus-themed rewards

Ubisoft’s keeping details under wraps, but lore hunters and completionists, this one’s for you.
What’s Next?

Expect even more updates in early September — exact date TBA. Keep an eye on the official roadmap blog for all the juicy patch notes and reveals.
Launch Stats & Community Reactions

Despite some pre-launch controversy (that 33% YouTube like ratio was rough), Assassin’s Creed Shadows pulled in over 3 million players at launch, making it the second-highest Day 1 revenue in franchise history. Not bad for a game people were ready to boycott a month ago.

Ubisoft also confirmed it implemented anti-harassment protocols to protect devs from online abuse, including legal and mental health support — a bold but necessary move in today's climate.
