AC: Shadows – details of patch 1.0.2

Developers have chosen to implement the long-awaited function, allowing horses to automatically navigate city roads, thereby enhancing their speed within urban areas and enabling us to arrive at our destinations more swiftly. Now, let’s ponder about what other exciting features the initial major update for the Japanese “Assassin” game might unveil.

  1. The “Mastery Nodes Reset” option will appear. Thanks to this, players will once again fill out the selected skill tree for Yasuke or Naoe.
  2. During trading, we will mark and sell many items at once.
  3. When we hold down the button or the “options” key for a few seconds, an investigation board will open.
  4. The game will receive PSSR support on PS5 Pro. If the owners of this console started playing before the patch was released, they must enable this function in the menu. Besides, the “balanced mode” will get the Raytraced Specular option, which will improve the image quality.
  5. The frame rate will be unlocked in the hideout in performance mode (so far it has reached a maximum of 30 fps).
  6. The balance will be adjusted during boss battles.
  7. The bug, which caused a guiding line to the target to appear on the road in photo mode, will be removed.
  8. Double assassinations will get better.

Here are the major updates being implemented in the game today, covering areas like quests, stealth, combat, balance, and AI. Beyond these enhancements, developers have addressed a variety of technical issues across different platforms such as Steam Deck.
