How was your approach to post-launch content in Assassin’s Creed Shadows different than recent franchise installations?

Simon Lemay-Comtois: There was a big shift between Assassin’s Creed Valhalla’s post-launch strategy and that of Shadows.

What content in this final update is a direct result of community feedback?

If you want to split it in two, we have a last big narrative update that concludes the story of Assassin’s Creed Shadows, and we have a hardcore RPG replayability feature called Domains. Domains is all about testing the gear that you’ve accumulated, changing your perks, changing abilities, moving from Yasuke to Naoe to try and tackle increasingly difficult challenges that give you more rewards, more gear. These rewards cannot be bought anywhere, found in the world, or appear in the Animus Exchange. If you want those things, you have to go through the gauntlet. Domains is for a
