Ubisoft Quebec Evaluates Tougher Difficulty Mode for Assassin's Creed Shadows

Following player feedback on the game's perceived ease, the development team is considering a new difficulty setting while addressing bugs and enhancing features.

Assassin's Creed Shadows has been praised for its stealth mechanics but criticized for its perceived lack of combat difficulty.
Creative Director Jonathon Dumont confirmed that Ubisoft Quebec is exploring the addition of a harder difficulty mode in response to player feedback.
Players have highlighted issues such as overly simple parry mechanics and predictable enemy attack patterns as contributing to the game's ease.
The development team is also focused on post-launch updates to address bugs and implement feature improvements, though no timeline has been announced for these changes.
Comparisons to Ghost of Tsushima emphasize Shadows' strengths in stealth but suggest improvements could be made to its combat system.
