Assassin’s Creed Shadows might be receiving its final major update on June 16, but it does seem determined to go out with a bang. We’re going to watch it set off into the sunset with a pang, but its influence on the franchise’s future is undeniable.
A new post on BlueSky has hinted at a potential crossover with Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced, scheduled for a July release that has us quite eager to return to Edward Kenway’s journey and witness his transformation from a scallywag into one of the Brotherhood’s finest Assassins.
The hint comes from none other than Simon Lemay-Comtois, the assistant game director of Shadows, whose tongue-in-cheek glance towards the camera when telling us about a “Black Tide” coming to Japan makes it a logical assumption that the new update will feature some connection to the upcoming remake. If we were to speculate, it could probably give us a peek into the discovery of The Sage’s mysterious artifacts.
Of course, all of this isn’t confirmed yet, and we’re probably going to have to wait until the update drops to see if we’re right, or merrily chomping down on some humble pie. Either way, it’s a definitive end to what ended up being a successful new Assassin’s Creed.
Here is another teaser for Update 1.1.11 for 🔴 Assassin’s Creed Shadows 🔴 releasing on June 16!A 🌊 “Black Tide” 🌊 is going to come to Japan!What do you think that refers to? Could this refer to a Black Flag Resynced tie-in?
