Assassin's Creed Shadows Roadmap Includes Major Update, A Parkour Challenge, And Switch 2 DLC https://ift.tt/vDXJKNa Ubisoft has released its roadmap for Assassin's Creed Shadows through to the end of March, showing off the game's next title update, a parkour challenge for players to compete in, and a release date for the game's DLC on Switch 2. The game's next title update lands on February 17--that's tomorrow--and will introduce three new additions to the game, all of them significant in their own way.

At the center of the game's story are two characters, Emily Hartwood and Detective Edward Carnby, played by Free Guy's Jodie Comer and Stranger Things' David Harbour, respectively.

At its core, Alone in the Dark is a haunted house story, the game's team told me in a Q&A session that followed a hands-off presentation. Players will explore the Southern Gothic horror story by moving through its haunted mansion, solving puzzles, and doing battle with the entities that reside there. In moments I saw, it looked quite like a modern Resident Evil or another 3D over-the-shoulder horror series.
