Summary
- The Claws of Awaji DLC may launch on October 6, 2025, as per a leaked LinkedIn image.
- The DLC includes 10+ hours of gameplay, new weapons, a new region, and the Bō staff.
- Conflicting leaks hint at a September release to avoid Ghost of Yotei’s launch.
Claws of Awaji DLC Release Date Possibly Revealed
Ubisoft hasn’t revealed when the ‘Claws of Awaji’ DLC will drop, but a recent leak might have spoiled the surprise.
A LinkedIn post from a Ubisoft Bordeaux employee showed an internal screenshot with the DLC title and the date “10/06/2025” below it. Fans quickly took this to mean that the Assassin’s Creed Shadows expansion might arrive on October 6, 2025.
Now, while the LinkedIn leak suggests an October launch, other insiders believe Ubisoft may release the DLC earlier in September.
Industry insider Tom Henderson claims that a September date is more likely to avoid competing with Ghost of Yotei, a major PlayStation exclusive also set in Japan and launching in October. If true, this strategy would make sense for Ubisoft to avoid a direct showdown.
What’s Included in the DLC?
This new expansion promises a lot for fans of Naoe and Yasuke. It will offer over 10 hours of extra gameplay, a fresh region to explore, and brand-new weapons and skills.
One of the main highlights is the Bō staff, a new weapon type that brings a different combat style. Players will also be hunted throughout the story while uncovering hidden treasures and new challenges.
As of now, Ubisoft hasn’t confirmed any official release date. But if the leak is accurate, fans can likely expect the DLC to arrive sometime in Q4 2025. Whether it’s September or October, players eager to continue the journey of Naoe and Yasuke won’t have to wait too long.
