La fuite du DLC Assassin

Le premier DLC d'Assassin's Creed Shadows, "Claws of Awaji", fuite sur Steam

Des détails concernant la prochaine extension "Claws of Awaji" pour Assassin's Creed Shadows auraient fait surface via une mise à jour Steam désormais supprimée, selon Insider Gaming. Ce premier DLC pour le titre très attendu introduira une nouvelle région, un nouveau type d'arme, des compétences, de l'équipement et une quantité substantielle de gameplay supplémentaire.

Assassin's Creed Shadows, qui se déroule dans le Japon féodal du XVIe siècle, marque les débuts de la franchise en Asie de l'Est. Les joueurs contrôleront deux protagonistes, le Samouraï Yasuke et le Shinobi Naoe, naviguant dans une période historique mouvementée. Le développement du jeu a été semé d'embûches, notamment des retours négatifs et de multiples retards. Le dernier report a repoussé la date de lancement au 20 mars 2025.

La mise à jour Steam divulguée a révélé que "Claws of Awaji" fournira plus de 10 heures de nouveau contenu. De plus, précommander le jeu donnera accès à la fois au DLC et à une mission bonus. Cette fuite fait suite à la récente annonce de retard, ajoutant une autre couche au parcours complexe de pré-sortie du jeu.

Le retard et l'avenir incertain d'Ubisoft

La fuite de "Claws of Awaji" a coïncidé avec la confirmation par Ubisoft d'un énième retard pour Assassin's Creed Shadows. Initialement prévue pour le 15 novembre 2024, la sortie a d'abord été déplacée au 14 février 2025, puis de nouveau au 20 mars 2025, pour permettre un peaufinage et un affinement supplémentaires. Cette nouvelle intervient au milieu des rumeurs d'un éventuel rachat d'Ubisoft par Tencent, ajoutant à l'incertitude entourant l'avenir de l'entreprise. La récente sous-performance de titres comme XDefiant et Star Wars Outlaws a jeté une ombre sur les perspectives financières d'Ubisoft.

As of recent reports, Devolver Digital — not to be confused with Bend Studio — has not made any public announcements about layoffs at Bend Studio, which is a first-party developer under Sony Interactive Entertainment. However, there have been longstanding rumors and industry speculation regarding Bend Studio’s future, particularly after the release of Days Gone in 2019.
Here’s what’s known:

Days Gone, developed by Bend Studio, received mixed to positive reviews but underperformed commercially, which led to internal restructuring at Sony.
In 2020, Sony confirmed that Bend Studio was transitioning from Days Gone to a new, unannounced project — a move that was framed as a strategic shift rather than a cancellation of future work.
There were unconfirmed reports and rumors in 2021 and 2022 suggesting that Bend Studio had reduced staff, potentially due to shifting priorities or a focus on a new internal project. These rumors were never officially confirmed by Sony or Bend Studio.
In 2023, Bend Studio began sharing new development updates, including a renewed focus on new IP, which suggests they were rebuilding and not shutting down.

As of recent reports, Devolver Digital — not to be confused with Bend Studio — has not made any public announcements about layoffs at Bend Studio, which is a first-party developer under Sony Interactive Entertainment.

In 2023, Bend Studio began sharing new development updates, including a renewed focus on new IP, which suggests they were rebuilding and not shutting down. So, to clarify: No official job cuts at Bend Studio were confirmed by Sony or the studio itself. The term "cuts" may be a misinterpretation or exaggeration of internal restructuring or staff reallocation. The studio is still active and reportedly working on a new, undisclosed project — potentially a fresh IP, not a sequel to Days Gone. In short: There is no verified evidence of layoffs at Bend Studio. The studio is in a transition phase, focusing on a new, unknown project — common in the industry after a major title release. Bend Studio remains operational and part of Sony’s first-party development network.
