Summary
Ubisoft is fielding theAssassin’s Creed Shadowscommunity for post-launch update ideas on Reddit, asking whatyouwant to see added to the game.
That doesn’t just include quality-of-life tweaks, either, but also more in-depth features. There are a lot of suggestions to sift through,with over 600 commentsat the time of writing, so let’s dig into some of the more popular ones.
Clearing The Fog, Changing The Time Of Day, Co-Op, Auto Loot, And More
A common complaint that keeps cropping up on the subreddit is how disjointed Naoe and Yasuke’s gameplay feels from the narrative. They work in tandem against targets, and build up repertoire between missions, but we only ever see them together in cutscenes. When we shift into gameplay, one of the pair suddenly disappears.
u/supersansa has a simple solution: “Naoe or Yasuke as a companion.” Others, like u/Still_Ad_2898, added that we should be able to seamlessly swap between them, and u/Pyro_liska suggested that when you interact with an NPC who will only talk to either Naoe or Yasuke, it should automatically change characters for you. It would certainly go a long way to making the pair feel more organically intertwined with the world.
Taking the idea even further, many are also asking Ubisoft toimplement a co-op mode, allowing one player to control Yasuke while the other controls Naoe. This haslong been rumoured and even datamined, so it might already be in the works.
Another issue many have with the game is how hard it is to clear the map’s fog of war. Certain areas are borderline inaccessible with how traversal works, as you have to scale slippery hills and jagged terrain. Once again, there’s an easy answer to this problem. “Maybe after you beat the main storyline, syncing every viewpoint clears the fog,” u/lVlzone said. “Or maybe a vendor sells a ‘map’ that clears it all.”
Others, like u/LostnFoundAgainAgain, argued that the fog should clear on a zone-by-zone basis, rather than the whole map.
These are just a few of the requests that players have. There’s a mountain of great suggestions. To summarise a few:
While there are hundreds of comments and more pouring in, the post is still open, so if you have any ideas of your own, now is the time to voice them.
