Assassin’s Creed Shadows has been warmly-received by fans of the series – and is off to a good start sales-wise, too – but players still have a long list of suggestions for what they’d like to see Ubisoft add to the game next.
A lengthy thread on the Assassin’s Creed reddit has dozens of feature ideas – including a particularly prominent handful of concepts from other Assassin’s Creed games that didn’t return in Shadows that fans want to see added back.
The ability to meditate and move the game’s clock forward – changing day to night, or vice versa – is a big request. I can see why this didn’t initially make the cut in Shadows, as stealth is such a big deal and I’d always change the clock to night for an easier ride (Naoe specifically has skills which boost her stealth after dark). But also, waiting for the night is no fun.
Numerous fans have asked for your mount’s “follow path” option to return. Present in several recent Assassin’s Creed games, this essentially put your horse on autopilot, allowing you to go check your phone for a bit. I actually appreciate that this isn’t included in Shadows, with road traversal instead spiced up with random encounters – both friend and foe.
