Assassin's Creed Shadows seems likely to become the initial Ubisoft game to incorporate Epic Games Store achievements. New information reveals that Epic Games Store placeholders for achievements have appeared within the game, which indicates that achievements will be available when the game is released. Epic Games launched its achievement system back in 2021, and since then, Ubisoft has failed to support it, which makes this addition meaningful.

The Epic Games achievement system works like Steam and Xbox as it monitors player progression and uses rarity ratings to create a player ranking system. The achievement system exists only in games that Epic Games itself owns. The addition of achievements to Assassin's Creed Shadows signals that more game developers are starting to adopt Epic Games' achievements system.

The gaming community welcomes the achievement support rumor since it suggests Ubisoft will add these features to its entire Epic Games Store collection. Many fans worry about the potential need to switch from Ubisoft Connect to play the game through the Epic Games Store. The incomplete Epic feature integration in Ubisoft games through the Epic Games Store requires fans' attention.

Assassin's Creed Shadows will be released on March 20th, 2025, and will be accessible on PlayStation 5 alongside Xbox Series X/S and PC. The game sets its story in feudal Japan with two main characters following Naoe the shinobi Assassin and Yasuke the legendary samurai. The game delivers a completely immersive experience through its huge open world, seasonal changes, and dynamic weather system.
