Ubisoft announced that Title Update 1.1.6 for Assassin’s Creed: Shadows will come out later today and shared its full patch notes. So, let’s see what this new update brings to the table.
Patch 1.1.6 adds a new story quest, called “A Puzzlement”. In this quest, Naoe and Yasuke encounter two old acquaintances having a loud argument about a mysterious door in South Wakasa. They task the protagonists with figuring out how to open it. During the quest, Naoe and Yasuke will also learn new skills from each other.
Title Update 1.1.6 also introduced a time-limited quest based on Attack on Titan. In this quest, a mysterious faction has kidnapped a Titan-Shiefter to infiltrate feudal Japan. A lone survivor (with a dark secret) will recruit Naoe and Yasuke to help her stop the group from unleashing the terror of a Titan on Japan.
I haven’t played this quest, but if I had to guess, I’d say that the kidnapped Titan-Shiefter is Eren Yeager. In the first couple of seasons, Eren was constantly being kidnapped. As for the lone survivor, this is most likely Mikasa.
Aside from the new quests, Patch 1.1.6 also brings several gameplay fixes and improvements. For example, it fixes a bug where the Sword of Fathoms Katana let players use a double transmog exploit that stacked four engravings. It also fixes an issue that made some pets, like Bunny, Deer, Green Pheasant, and Flying Squirrel, impossible to get. Loadout slots will no longer reset after finishing quests. Players also won’t get stuck when leaving Miyataki Warehouse, and sliding doors will no longer block you from summoning allies.
There are also a couple of combat tweaks and fixes. Yasuke can now correctly perform finishers with non-postured attacks. Summoned allies will no longer flee combat after taking only a few hits. Plus, the Bo Staff will not trigger Counterstrike as intended.
Like always, Steam will download this update the next time you launch its client. Below, you can also find its complete changelog.
