Assassin’s Creed Shadows Update 1.0.4: New Story, Fixes, and More!

The big draw of this update is the free “Works of Luis Frois” story pack. You meet Luis Frois, a Portuguese Jesuit missionary, at a mission in Azuchi. The quest has you retrieving lost notes and protecting Lady Satoko, blending history with that classic Assassin’s Creed vibe. It’s playable with both characters, which is awesome since I switch between stealth and brute force depending on my mood. To kick it off, head south of Azuchi’s Merchants’ Quarters after “The Path He Walks.” Get the scoop from GameSpot.

Assassin’s Creed Shadows Enhancements and Bug Fixes

This patch also brings a character codex to Assassin’s Creed Shadows, which adds a bio for allies and enemies. As someone who geeks out over the story, I’m thrilled to have this—it makes the world feel richer. Plus, there are over 50 bug fixes, smoothing out quests, stealth, and combat. No more random deer blocking roads or weird altar props! PC players get better VRAM usage, Xbox fans reclaim “Balanced” mode, and SteamDeck sees FPS boosts. The community’s buzzing about it, though some miss the multi-sell feature. Dive into the details at DSOGaming, Gamerant, and Push Square.
