What do we know so far about the latest Assassin's Creed Game? 

Eagle-eyed fans noticed that the description of Ubisoft Italy's video revealed the game's apparent release date of November 15. Although the company swiftly removed this information, screenshots of the mishap circulated on social media. This incident mirrors the online leak of the Star Wars Outlaws release date in early April. If the redacted blurb is accurate, Assassin's Creed Shadows will mark the first new mainline entry in the franchise to release on November 15 since Assassin's Creed Revelations in 2011.

Assassin's Creed Shadows season pass and its price

Adding to the intrigue, dataminer Frax (AKA fraxR6) spilled the beans on Assassin's Creed Shadows' DLC plans. The open-world RPG is set to launch with a $40/€40/£40 season pass, which is rumoured to include a quest named Origami Killer, available from day one. This aligns with Ubisoft's tradition of including launch-day bonus missions in new AC entries, such as The Forty Thieves quest in Assassin's Creed Mirage.

The season pass is also reported to contain two expansions, which are expected to be released post-launch. According to the same source, these larger content updates will also be available for individual purchase at $25 each. Frax also mentioned a pre-order bonus named Thrown to the Dogs, although the nature of this bonus—whether it's an exclusive mission or an item bundle—remains unclear.
