Find out everything that comes with each edition of Assassin’s Creed Shadows.
Assassin's Creed Shadows is the next installment in the storied role-playing game (RPG) franchise, and the floodgates for the game have been opened. After being delayed to March 20, Ubisoft has still allowed previews for Shadows to go up, and pre-orders are now live. With the pre-orders open, we also have details on all the various editions of Assassin's Creed Shadows you can purchase.
As is the case with any Ubisoft game, you know there are going to be a few different editions available for Shadows. While the cost of the editions is always a point of debate, there's no denying the content you receive in the higher-tier editions is worth it to players who plan on grinding for months to come. Assassin's Creed Shadows follows a similar route to previous installments in the franchise with its editions and pre-order bonuses.
You can see everything the RPG has to offer on that front in the guide below.

- Claws of Awaji expansion
- Free expansion launching later in 2025 that offers over 10 hours of content on a new map, additional skills, gear, abilities, weapons, and more for both Naoe and Yasuke.

Those are all the current pre-order bonuses that Ubisoft has confirmed for Assassin's Creed Shadows. We'll update this guide with any new details on the editions or pre-order bonuses before the game launches on March 20, 2025.
