Being a samurai is too cool! But with some fixes and upgrades, it’s going to become cooler! Ubisoft is here with their first major patch 1.0.2 for Assassin’s Creed Shadows since its release on 20 March 2025. This new patch brings various new features, upgrades, bug fixes, and improvements that will enhance the game deeply. It is supported on all platforms and is available for download now. Let’s discuss what Assassin’s Creed Shadows Patch 1.0.2 is bringing along.
Assassin’s Creed Shadows Patch 1.0.2
Ubisoft has come up with the first batch of improvements in Assassin’s Creed Shadows following the feedback of gamers since launch.
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. They’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? They’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
They 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, they’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 they’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
