Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed Shadows is set to receive its Title Update 1.0.6 on June 25, 2025.

Players will interact with Rufino at their hideout, although details about potential romance options remain unclear. Additionally, a Nightmare Difficulty setting will be added, requiring players to master perfect parries to avoid damage, while also introducing smarter enemy AI and a more extensive Open World Alarm system that escalates the threat level for players who attack civilians.
