Assassin’s Creed Shadows will receive Title Update 1.1.12 on July 28 at 14:00 UTC / 10:00 AM EST / 7:00 AM PST. The closing update focuses on bug fixes across Domains, combat modifiers, gear perks, quests, audio, and visual presentation, according to the official Steam announcement.
The update will be available on Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, PC, Steam, and Mac at the announced time. Nintendo Switch 2 players will receive it on July 30 at 14:00 UTC / 10:00 AM EST / 7:00 AM PST.
Among the fixes are several issues tied to the Domains mode. The patch corrects armor interactions with Naoe’s abilities, Kunai, Shuriken, and the Ice Shard effect when the “Find the Gap” modifier is active. It also addresses stuck states, an incorrect boss defeat animation, an overly harsh health penalty from the “Fading Perfection” engraving, and frame-rate drops connected to the “Avenger” modifier.
Players should also see corrections to enhanced gear perks, death-prevention effects, missing engravings after Title Update 1.1.11, and Naoe’s Memento Licere perk. Quest fixes cover Claws of Awaji, Buried Secrets, and Black Tides.

The notes below reproduce the official fixes in their original order.
Bug Fixes & Improvements
Gameplay
- Fixed an issue in Domains with “Naoe’s Grab” and “Throw” ability not breaking enemy armor while the “Find the Gap” modifier was active.
- Fixed an issue in Domains with the “Adrenaline Drain” and “Ability Lockdown” modifiers occasionally appearing together, resulting in an unintended and punishing combination.
- Fixed an issue in Domains with the “Momochi Sandayu” boss fight playing an incorrect animation, instead of a death animation when defeated.
- Fixed an issue where players become stuck in the first Domain when the “Speedrun” modifier was active.
- Fixed an issue with the “Fading Perfection” engraving removing 99% of Naoe’s health on ability use instead of the intended 20%.
Audio/Language
- Fixed an issue with Yasuke’s “Meca Mask” audio not playing correctly during Black Tides Story Pack’s cutscene.
- Fixed an issue with some text in Simplified Chinese showing squares (□) instead of the correct characters.
Visual/Graphics
- Fixed an issue where the “Peasant Hat” engraving showed its base value of 6% instead of its actual boosted value in the Inventory and Forge menus.
- Fixed an issue with the “Pirate King Hat” perk description being incorrect.
- Fixed an issue with the Forge’s unlock condition for “Reduce all cooldowns by 10% on deflect” engraving appearing blank.
- Fixed an issue with the Forge’s unlock condition for “Reduce all cooldowns by 5% on critical strike” engraving appearing blank.
- Fixed an issue with several assassination perk descriptions being incorrectly displayed. They showed hardcoded values (e.g. always “+1”) instead of updating correctly when the perk was upgraded.
- Fixed an issue potentially causing players to find significant frame rate drops occurring in the Domains, after killing enemies when the “Avenger” modifier is active.
Gears & Perks
- Fixed an issue with perks triggered by specific conditions (backstabs, critical hits, headshots, posture attacks, or hitting afflicted/vulnerable enemies above or below half health) were not receiving their 50% boost when engraved on enhanced gear, despite appearing as boosted in the UI and stat sheet.
- Fixed an issue in Domains with “Kunai” and “Shuriken” incorrectly bypassing enemy armor when the “Find the Gap” modifier was active.
- Fixed an issue in Domains with the “Ice Shard” effect from the “Shiver of the Mountain Armor” bypassing enemy armor when the “Find the Gap” modifier was active.
- Fixed an issue where perks that prevent death did not trigger before the “You Only Live Once” modifier.
- Fixed an issue with “Naoe’s Memento Licere perk” not working correctly. No money was gained and no notification would appear when grabbing enemies.
- Fixed an issue following the 1.1.11 update where engravings from certain trinkets including “Masakado’s Vengeance” were missing and could no longer be transferred or applied to other items.
SPOILERS AHEAD!
Quests
- “Claws of Awaji”: Fixed an issue where Tsuyu could become stuck in the terrain if the player jumped before using the “grappling hook”.
- “Buried Secrets”: Fixed an issue where dying and respawning could cause Rufino to disappear, making it impossible to open the barrier required to continue the mission.
- “Black Tides”: Fixed an issue during the final fight against Eamon, if Yasuke used an execution that severed Eamon’s forearm, the following cutscene incorrectly showed him holding his sword with the missing arm.
- “Black Tides”: Fixed an issue during the epilogue cutscene, Yasuke and Naoe could incorrectly appear wearing their headgear, this was particularly noticeable with larger or masked helmets.
