Ubisoft has released a new update for Assassin's Creed Shadows (version 1.1.8) that has excited fans, primarily due to the introduction of a jump feature that many players had been eagerly anticipating. This update is available on multiple platforms including PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC, and varies in size from 1.73GB on PS5 to 15.77GB on Xbox. The jump functionality can be activated through the Advanced Parkour option in the game's menu, enabling players to jump freely during gameplay, a feature that many players assumed was already included in the game.

In addition to the jump feature, the update provides comprehensive gameplay enhancements aimed at improving player experience. The update introduces detailed statistics that clarify how gear, perks, and loadouts interact within the game. Moreover, players will find a new Animus Entry Point at their hideout, which adds to the narrative and exploration elements of the game. The update also improves the visibility of critical hits during gameplay, ensuring that players can better understand their combat effectiveness.

Overall, the 1.1.8 update not only satisfies fan requests but also enhances the overall gaming experience in Assassin's Creed Shadows. By implementing these features, Ubisoft demonstrates its commitment to engaging its player community and ensuring that the game remains fresh and enjoyable, which could lead to increased player retention and satisfaction in the long term.
