The simple answer? Nearly everything available before completion. Assassin's Creed Shadows features a vast open world teeming with side content. Completing the main storyline doesn't restrict access to these activities, allowing players to fully explore feudal Japan after the credits roll.

Ubisoft will introduce new weekly challenges via the Animus portal post-launch, ensuring fresh content even for players who achieve 100% completion.

Understanding the Epilogue and Endgame Content

The credits sequence may not signify the true conclusion. During testing, we observed that while the credits rolled after finishing the Shinbakufu Objective Board along with Naoe and Yasuke's main quests, the Act 3 completion trophy remained locked. To experience the complete ending and unlock associated achievements, players must:

  1. Complete both protagonists' personal storylines
  2. Finish Junjiro's narrative arc
  3. Return to the Hideout and converse with Tomiko

Additionally, the endgame rewards players with exclusive gear: Assassin-themed armor for Naoe and Templar-inspired equipment for Yasuke. These sets enhance each character's unique combat style while paying homage to classic Assassin's Creed designs.

Level progression continues post-completion, allowing players to reach the maximum level cap through ongoing gameplay.
