Assassin’s Creed Shadows‘ full cabinet of Achievements/Trophies have been revealed by publisher Ubisoft, and the good news is you won’t have to play a specific character or embark on a second play through to unlock the full batch.
In case you’re not up to speed, Assassin’s Creed Shadows features two playable characters — samurai Yasuke and shinobi Naoe — that you can switch between freely, and Ubisoft has previously said that players won’t really miss out on anything if they favour one over the other. This extends to Trophies, as you won’t be forced to select one character over the other to unlock a reward; you can obtain all achievements playing as one character without multiple playthroughs.

Available on day one, these Steam achievements (which are the same as the Xbox achievements and PlayStation trophies) can all be earned in a single playthrough, meaning no achievement can be missed regardless of what story choices you make. And don’t worry – your Leap of Fail will look just as spectacular whether you’re playing on story mode or on expert level, as all achievements are unlockable regardless of difficulty level.
Assassin’s Creed Shadows is due out on March 20, 2025 for PS5, PC, and Xbox Series X/S, although some physical copies have made their way into the hands of players, who have started streaming the game online.
