Assassin’s Creed Shadows’ Snow Actually Melts When The Sun Comes Out

by

At long last, Assassin’s Creed Shadows has arrived, and gamers are just starting to delve into its expansive and captivating open environment. This world is adorned with numerous charming details that lend a sense of authenticity, but it also boasts an uncommon aspect for open-world RPGs: snow that gradually thaws away.

In many games, snow is merely used as a backdrop for footprints, but Assassin’s Creed Shadows goes a step beyond by incorporating weather patterns within the game world, causing the snow to react accordingly.

Assassin’s Creed Shadows distinguishes itself from other snow-themed games by making the snow dynamic and responsive to in-game weather conditions, adding an extra layer of realism to the game environment.

In Shadows, after a snowstorm, the snow melts in real-time when the sun comes out.

In the game Assassin’s Creed Shadows, players may experience various weather conditions including snowstorms. However, a keen-eyed gamer discovered an interesting detail: unlike in real life where snow would melt instantly upon sunshine, it melts gradually in this game only after the sun has appeared.

On Twitter (previously known as X), the player publicly revealed their discoveries, posting a video featuring the co-protagonist Naoe from Assassin’s Creed Shadows, perched on her horse following a snowstorm. As the sun gradually emerges from behind the clouds, the accumulated snow on the ground starts to vanish. However, this change isn’t sudden; instead, the video is sped up to demonstrate the gradual melting of the snow in a lifelike fashion.

Regardless of your personal opinion about Ubisoft’s newest game featuring time-travel and parkour, it’s challenging to dispute that its breathtaking landscapes and meticulously crafted settings are nothing less than awe-inspiring.
