Ubisoft Considers Tougher Difficulty Mode for Assassin's Creed Shadows

Developers are responding to player feedback on difficulty while working on updates to refine the game post-launch.

Ubisoft Quebec is exploring the addition of a new, more challenging difficulty setting for Assassin's Creed Shadows in response to player feedback.
Community reactions to the game's current difficulty levels are mixed, with some players finding it too easy despite existing options ranging from 'story' to 'expert' modes.
Creative Director Jonathon Dumont confirmed that the development team is monitoring feedback and prioritizing bug fixes and feature updates for upcoming patches.
The team aims to ensure noticeable improvements over time, building on the game's strong launch and surpassing 2 million players shortly after release.
Ubisoft recently created a new subsidiary focused on its flagship franchises, including Assassin's Creed, signaling a strategic shift for the company.
