Claws of Awaji
Claws of Awaji is a downloadable content expansion package for Assassin's Creed: Shadows released on 16 September 2025.[1] Set after the main campaign, it follows Fujibayashi Naoe and Yasuke as they hunt for a treasure on Awaji, a place long-defended by the Sanzoku Ippa's counter-intelligence methods[2] and merciless rule.[3] Initially a pre-order exclusive expansion, it was made available to players on all platforms for $25 USD.[4]
Synopsis
Feel the fear of being hunted and under threat on a mysterious island. Reclaim a lost treasure while avoiding the traps and ambushes of deadly new foes. Master the bō (a new weapon type), unlock new skills/gear/abilities, and get over 10 hours of additional content.
Embark on a complete new adventure as Naoe & Yasuke and travel to the mysterious Island of Awaji beyond Osaka Bay. As the pair scour this new region seeking to reclaim a lost treasure, they are hunted relentlessly by deadly new foes. Securing the object—and Japan's future—won't be easy, with all the traps and ambushes putting our protagonists at risk.
On the island, Naoe & Yasuke will be relentlessly hunted by the Sanzoku Ippa, a new faction. Hide from your trackers and outwit them, avoiding the traps and ambushes set by those deadly new foes, and hunt them down on your terms.[5]
