Assassin’s Creed Shadows: Claws of Awaji arrives as a post-launch addition to the franchise’s newest installment, introducing an uncharted island territory, upgraded mechanics, and narrative closure for unresolved plotlines. Learn how to unlock this expansion and its prerequisites below.

Entry Requirements for the Claws of Awaji Expansion

To reach Awaji Island, players must first conclude pivotal late-game missions. This includes wrapping up the Shinbakufu Targets, resolving the personal storylines of Naoe, Yasuke, and Junjior, and eliminating all Out of the Shadows objectives.

Launching the Expansion’s Storyline

After meeting all prerequisites, visit Konatsu, an associate of Hattori Hanzo, at the Settsu Hideout. This triggers a mission chain that culminates in your journey to Awaji upon completion.

Navigating Between Awaji and Mainland Regions

While Awaji features its own map, you retain freedom to revisit mainland areas. A unique ferry icon permits instant travel to the Hideout from the island or to Sumoto’s Kakurega entrance when returning from original territories.
