Ubisoft heeft aangekondigd dat ze vandaag update 1.0.2 zullen uitrollen voor Assassin’s Creed: Shadows. Deze update komt met een hele hoop bug fixes, balans verbeteringen en nog veel meer. Een van de meest in het oog springende verbeteringen is dat de update nu ondersteuning brengt voor de PSSR-technologie van de PlayStation 5 Pro.
Met andere woorden: de game zal er op de nieuwste console van Sony in visueel opzicht grafisch op vooruitgaan. Een van de voordelen is dat de Balanced modus op de PlayStation 5 Pro nu Raytraced Specular kent, wat de visuele kwaliteit dichterbij de Quality modus brengt.
Hieronder alle details van deze nieuwe update.
Horse Auto-Follow and Speed improvements
Auto-Follow the road is back to help you navigate while riding your horse. Simply activate the pathfinder to enable Auto-Follow, and your horse will automatically follow the road to your marked destination.
We’ve also increased horse speeds in cities so you can get to your destination faster.
Mastery Nodes Reset
Is your stealth build not sneaky enough? Could Yasuke pack a heavier punch? We’ve added the option to reset Mastery Nodes in the skill trees so you can test different playstyles and skills for both Naoe and Yasuke.
Selling / Dismantling multiple items
We know you’ve been hard at work exploring every corner of Feudal Japan, and that means you’ve filled your pockets with resources and loot.
To help you save time when trading with merchants, we’ve added the option to tag and sell/dismantle multiple items in shops, or when dismantling gear at the Forge in the Hideout.
Investigation Board Shortcut
The Investigation Board is central to your journey, and we’ve added a new shortcut for direct access while in-game.
With Title Update 1.0.2, holding the OPTION button for a few seconds will take you directly to the Investigation Board, while a single press will open the inventory menu.
This update now allows you to easily launch the World Map, Inventory, or Investigation Board smoothly as you play.
PS5 Pro
We’re excited to also bring key improvements to the PS5 Pro version of Shadows that will enhance the visual quality of the experience. Check out more in this article.

@Anoniem-5147: volledig mee eens
@Anoniem-5012: hahaha.. daarom is de marktwaarde zo laag. Een daarom hebben ze 25% moeten verkopen. Daarom hebben ze al een studio moeten sluiten. Droom lekker verder van je dom bedrijf. Ze hebben het zelf gezocht met hun domme opmerkingen. Hadden ze maar niet moeten stelen en dei over talent was ook niet de slimste zet.
@Anoniem-7322: Dat is voor de release van Shadows geweest. Je taalgebruik suggereert ook dat je er niet genuanceerd over denkt. Waarom is dat zo?
@Anoniem-40: ik heb het over ubisoft dat telkens de mist in gaat door verschillede dingen fout te doen. Wat wil jij zeggen met genuanceerd? Want ik denk dat je jezelf niet begrijpt. Leg dat eens uit. Als ze een game uit je bib stelen kan ik het niet goed praten om het van hun kant te zien. Als ze meermaals een spel uitbrengen vol bugs. Kan ik het ook niet goedpraten dat ze daar de volle mep voor vragen. En dei boven talent hoef je zelfs niet af te vragen waarom dat fout is. Een bedrijf werkt goed als de werkkrachten weten wat ze moeten doen en zo een meerwaarde zijn. Het mag niets uitmaken van waar je komt of wie je bent. Het gaat om ervaring, talent en inzet.
@Anoniem-966: ‘droom lekker verder van je dom bedrijf’ ‘domme opmerkingen’? Wat bedoel je hier dan mee?
Ik denk dat je het zelf niet goed begrijpt. De bedrijven die hebben moeten sluiten was nog voor de release van Shadows. Wat heeft Shadows er dan mee te maken? Wat vind je zo ‘dei’ aan Shadows? Als je het spel gespeeld hebt, dan zul je zien dat de ‘wokeness’ heel erg meevalt.
Maar dit is ook al tientallen keren uitgelegd door anderen. Dus ik snap niet zo waarom je spuit 11 doet.
@Benjaminben: hij zoekt hier de aandacht die hij thuis niet krijgt.
@Anoniem-7597: het bedrijf dat ze hebben gesloten heeft meegewerkt aan shadows.
@Anoniem-7597: blijf maar ontkennen dat ubisoft dei voorop zet. Kijk naar de werknemers of het verhaal van shadows. Of voorgaande delen. Het draait enkel nog om holebi relaties. Ik ben terug oude games gaan installeren die nog leuk zijn om te spelen. Zonder altijd maar weer relatie of geaardheid door mijn strot geduwd te krijgen. Dat ze dan een aparte gengre maken voor de mensen die dat willen. Nee nu moet het overal doorgeduwd worden.
@Anoniem-7322: wie begint er nu? Hebben jullie het nu ook door Benjaminben en Bke?
@Anoniem-8632: Ja, en? Wat heeft dat met het succes van Shadows te maken?
@Anoniem-5178: waarom wil je jouw mening door de strot van iedereen blijven drukken? Als jij het spel niet leuk vindt speel je toch mooi de oudere games? Maar waarom kom je dan precies in de topics van Shadows doen? De game vind je dan toch wel erg leuk blijkbaar.
@Anoniem-2557: omdat jullie blijven zeggen dat ubisoft goed bezig is. Jullie blijven leugens vertellen. Net zoals ubisft niet eerlijk is. Ze komen wel af met aantal spelers maar niet met verkoopcijfers. En jullie slikken dat. Als je alles zomaar toelaat van ubisoft gaat het alleen maar erger worden. Enkel door de kritiek op het onafgewerkt uitbrengen van outlaws. Hebben ze shadows uitgesyeld. Shadows moest een groot succes zijn om niet ten onder te gaan. En kijk nu, marktwaarde blijft zakken. Ze hebben al een studio moeten sluiten. 25% van hun bedrijf moeten verkopen. Als iedereen zomaar slikt dat een bedrijf met alles wegkomt, gaat er niets veranderen. Dan ga je nog meer betalen voor onafgewerkte cut content games waar enkel een agenda van belang is. Veel plezier als jij snel tevreden bent en je zonder probleem door ubisoft gebruikt wil worden. Ik ga verder niet meer reageren op jouw reacties. Het is zinloos omdat je blind bent voor de realiteit.
@Anoniem-9662: Die studio hebben ze gesloten voordat Shadows gereleased werd. Shadows is de op 1 na succesvolste AC game. Dat zie je aan de spelersaantallen. Ubisoft liegt hier niet over. Ze komen binnenkort heus wel met cijfers.
@Anoniem-9662: Weet je wat jij moet doen? Met een groot demonstratiebord naar het hoofdkantoor van Ubisoft en daar gaan klagen dat ze geen cijfers publiceren en dat ze studio’s aan het sluiten zijn.
De spelers hebben gesproken. Assassin’s Creed Shadows heeft de players choice Award van maart 2025 gewonen.
https://blog.playstation.com/2025/04/01/players-choice-vote-for-march-2025s-best-new-game/
Uiteraard gewoon terecht.
@Anoniem-6722: Ja als je kijkt welke games er deze maand zijn uitgekomen is Shadows een makkelijke keuze idd. Toch een slimme release datum gekozen. Vorige maand had MH gehakt van ze gemaakt.
@Anoniem-2096: Split Fiction, The First Berserker: Khazan en Xenoblade Chronicles X.
Assassin’s Creed Shadows had gewoon genoeg waardige tegenstanders.
@Anoniem-6722: don’t bother. De haters zullen het altijd zo verdraaien dat het negatief is.
