Ubisoft has lifted curtains from the PC specs that are required to play the long-awaited game— Assassin’s Creed Shadows.

The story trailer, launched on January 23, 2025, showcased the dark narrative, war, and chaos. Fans are thrilled even more and can’t wait to lay their hands on the game on March 20, 2025; however, the preorder option is now available.

Ubisoft mentioned in the latest blog post, “ During the past weeks, we shared more information on stealth, combat, parkour , and exploration. We have some news to share today.”

“For those of you playing on PC, we’ve got all of Assassin’s Creed Shadows’ recommended PC specs.” Assassin’s Creed Shadows will support raytraced global illumination and reflections and will feature an in-game benchmark tool for performance analysis, ultra-wide resolutions, an uncapped framerate, and more.”
