Popular Feature Disabled in Assassin’s Creed Shadows Update

Ubisoft’s latest entry in the franchise, Assassin’s Creed Shadows, had to pull one of its popular updates—the Multi-sell feature—due to unforeseen complications. Meanwhile, a hotfix has addressed some pesky stuttering and crash issues on PC and more, though Ubisoft hasn’t revealed when fans might see the feature reinstated.

Released on March 20th to rave reviews, Assassin’s Creed Shadows spent three consecutive weeks dominating the sales charts, earning the position of the year’s second best-selling title, just trailing behind Capcom’s Monster Hunter Wilds. Earlier this month, the game received its first major patch, packed with plenty of improvements and handy features. Among the newly introduced conveniences was an auto-follow option for horses, allowing them to follow the pathfinder line without player input—a great convenience on long journeys. Additionally, the patch lifted an unexpected 30 FPS cap at the Hideout, enhancing the overall gameplay experience. Notably, players could also mark multiple gear items for sale or dismantling at once, simplifying menu navigation significantly.

This latest tweak, Title Update 1.0.3, saw Ubisoft temporarily disable the multi-sell feature, offering little explanation for its withdrawal and leaving fans in the dark about its potential return. However, dismantling gear for resources via the Hideout’s Forge might still be available, as the patch notes mention multi-selling only in terms of shop functionalities. Despite the absence of auto-selling, Title Update 1.0.3 offers a range of bug fixes, including improvements for ally summoning glitches and resolving a crash prompted by specific weapon customization. PS5 Pro players will also notice enhancements with HDR and PSSR settings.

Loot-loving fans missing the multi-sell will need to play the waiting game for its reintroduction. Ubisoft has plans to expand the game’s narrative with the Claws of Awaji DLC later this year. Players should keep tabs on Ubisoft’s social channels for any news regarding upcoming patches or DLC releases. Here’s a comprehensive rundown of what Update 1.0.3 brings:

– Deactivated the multi-sell feature in shops due to unforeseen issues.
– Resolved a missing option to call allies.
– Fixed stutter problems on PC.
– Corrected a crash during the game’s prologue.
– Addressed graphical issues with Yasuke’s attire after dodging.
– Fixed crashes and visual mishaps with the ‘Claw of Dragon’ skin (note: customization for this weapon is re-enabled in this update).
– Tackled an unexpected audio outage.
– Sorted out a graphical glitch for HDR and PSSR settings on the PlayStation 5 Pro.
– Alleviated crash problems on the PlayStation 5.

Fans eagerly anticipating what’s next for Assassin’s Creed Shadows will find their patience rewarded soon as Ubisoft continues to refine and expand its immersive worlds.
