Assassin’s Creed Shadows PS5 Achievements Challenge Your Shinobi and Samurai Skills
The release date for Assassin’s Creed Shadows is getting closer, as it is set for March 20th. If you are lucky enough to have acquired an illicit copy, you might already be playing it. Despite some leaks, there’s good news: the list of Trophies available for the PS5 version has been confirmed, although details about story-related achievements remain hidden for now.
The Trophy list, put together by the team at PowerPyx, features a total of 55 Trophies, but the exact values for each one are not yet known. At first glance, it seems that most players will likely earn many of these simply by playing the game, along with the usual activities expected in an open-world game from Ubisoft.
What makes this list interesting are some of the achievements that appear to be inspired by traditional Japanese movies and stories about samurais and ninjas. For instance, one Trophy called "Final Hearing" encourages players to put away their weapon right after defeating an enemy who is affected by a bleed effect. While this isn’t a requirement for earning the Trophy, it would be a nice touch to style it like a classic scene from old samurai films.
In the interest of maintaining some of the game’s surprises, we’ve left out the hidden Trophies tied to the main story events from the list, although you can find the complete details at PowerPyx if you’re curious. Some players may categorize these hidden titles as potential spoilers based on their names. Here’s an overview of some public Trophies you can look forward to:
