The Assassin’s Creed saga takes a thrilling new turn with Claws of Awaji, an expansion for Assassin’s Creed Shadows that delves deeper into the shadows of feudal Japan, exploring the enigmatic island of Awaji.
Our collaboration with Ubisoft on the Assassin’s Creed series has been an incredible journey, allowing us to craft striking visuals that immerse players in new worlds before they even step into the game. With Claws of Awaji, we embraced the challenge of capturing the island’s mysterious atmosphere and the relentless tension of being hunted in a single powerful image.
A huge thanks to the Ubisoft teams for their continued trust in us. We can’t wait for players to experience this new chapter!
