Assassin’s Creed Shadows received its first DLC Expansion, Claws of Awaji, back in September. However, plans for the game’s second DLC expansion are no longer going forward according to Ubisoft.
“As of now, at this moment for Year Two, there is no expansion on the size of Awaji that is planned,” said Simon Lemay-Comtois–Ubisoft’s associate game director during an interview with JorRaptor (via IGN).
Lemay-Comtois went on to explain that while there will still be post-launch content for Shadows, “It’s not a full-on DLC the way a season pass would have had in the previous years … Any content we want to do in Year Two will probably be more sparse, not a drip-feed… but chunkier updates that shake things up a little more. I’m not announcing anything at this point, but our strategy for Year One was to be quick and reactive, so it means smaller drops often, but for Year Two we don’t need to put fires out or anything, so it’s more what good, chunky little piece of meat… we can drop and have people come back and enjoy it.”
