A new threat washes ashore!
Two elite-level Templars known as "Black Cross" are called to Japan to hunt Naoe and Yasuke for all the trouble they have caused. But as is often the case with the Templar Order, those Black Cross may have additional goals of their own: It's up to our two protagonists to prevent them from acquiring whatever they seek - and manage to stay alive...
Conditions for Black Tides
Complete Naoe & Yasuke's main story
Complete "A Critical Encounter" post-launch quest
Complete "A Puzzlement" post-launch quest
We’re releasing two new crossover Projects available in the Animus HUB called Riptides and Undertow, in which you can unlock new themed outfits, weapons, trinkets and more!
To activate the new Projects, complete Anomalies and progress through the rewards like previously released ones. These include rewards for both Shadows and Black Flag Resynced and can be progressed by completing Anomalies from both games.
Note: Unfortunately, these will not be available on Nintendo Switch 2 as it contains crossover content with Black Flag Resynced, which will not be releasing for Nintendo.
A brand-new Animus activity that will put your RPG build crafting skills to the test as you tackle 5 new gameplay simulations across 10 challenge levels.
Unlock conditions: Reach level 30
MOD, an Assassin hacker, has created a new type of simulation called “Domains.” These trials are designed to help the Dark Animus users sharpen their combat and survival skills. Those who can rise to the challenge can earn dozens of new and remixed outfits, weapons, trinkets and engravings.
The higher the difficulty, the more gameplay modifiers will be applied. The goal is to push you out of your comfort zone and make you rethink your loadouts. A strategy that works in one Domain may not in the next. “Time to get those Mythic and Artifact upgrades you’ve been putting off!”
MOD has an exclusive shop and in-game currency you can use to purchase new end-game gear sets, new powerful engravings, and a progression tree to support the Domain’s increasing challenges. As you push through higher difficulties, MOD will reward you with weapons and armors that longtime Animus users may recognize.
And you will need it all if you want to beat the hardest challenge levels (and get the secret rewards along the way!)
Note: None of these items will ever be in the store or the exchange. These are Domain-exclusive, for bragging rights only!
Another Rift has opened to reveal trouble stirring in its depths.
The Eagle has more information to share about the Guide.
Note: You must complete the two previous Animus Rifts to access the New one: Horizon.
Change to the access to Animus HUB features in the main menu.
We've changed the access to the HUB features in the main menu to harmonize with how they are accessed from gameplay. The System menu will now only be accessible through the Shadows' Memory page.
