Gamers can get Assassin’s Creed Shadows at an impressive discount, at least on PlayStation 5. The latest entry in the Assassin’s Creed franchise finally takes the long-running historical action series to feudal Japan and follows the tale of two playable warriors: the young shinobi Naoe and the real-life samurai Yasuke. These unlikely allies must journey across Japan in Assassin's Creed Shadows to track down and eliminate the members of a sinister conspiracy to both avenge Naoe’s father and bring justice to the land, all while the ancient battle between Assassins and Templars plays in the background.

Despite many pre-launch controversies, Assassin’s Creed Shadows has been very successful since its release in late March. Reviews are largely positive, with many praising Shadows as a solid return to form that offers variety through its two playable characters. Assassin’s Creed Shadows also topped sales charts at launch, and certain analysts state that it is on track to be one of 2025’s best-selling games.

This deal comes right as Ubisoft is preparing to reveal the post-launch DLC roadmap for Assassin’s Creed Shadows on April 30. So far, one major story expansion has been confirmed in Claws of Awaji, which is launching later this year and will add roughly 10 hours of content to the already large base game. Rumor also has it that Assassin’s Creed Shadows will be released on Nintendo Switch 2 after that particular system finally hits stores on June 5.

In the meantime, PlayStation 5 owners who haven’t gotten the chance to dive into the newest Assassin’s Creed title can get a considerable discount on Assassin’s Creed Shadows until the end of the month. Those who own a PS5 Pro will also be able to enjoy a host of graphical improvements thanks to ray tracing and AI upscaling, as well as reduced GPU load times that let gamers jump into the action much quicker.
