Ubisoft has recently released an exciting new trailer for Assassin's Creed Shadows, showcasing the impressive features of the upcoming PC version. The trailer highlights the game's support for advanced upscaling technologies such as DLSS 3.7, FSR 3.1, and XeSS 2, ensuring stunning visuals for players. Additionally, the game will support ultra-wide monitors, providing an immersive experience for those with wider screens. The inclusion of Ray Traced Global Illumination (RTGI) and Ray Traced Reflections (RT Reflections) promises to elevate the visual fidelity, while the developers have also ensured that the game will be optimized for lower-spec PCs with extensive settings adjustments.
For performance enthusiasts, Assassin's Creed Shadows will come equipped with a built-in benchmark tool, allowing players to test and fine-tune their systems for the best possible gameplay experience. The minimum system requirements to play at 1080p and 30 FPS include an Intel Core i7 8700K or AMD Ryzen 5 3600 processor, along with an NVIDIA GTX 1070 (8 GB) or AMD RX 5700 (8 GB) GPU. For those aiming to experience the game at 4K resolution and 60 FPS with ultra settings and advanced ray tracing, a more powerful setup is required: an Intel Core i7 13700K or AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D processor, coupled with an RTX 4090 (24 GB) graphics card.
Ubisoft has collaborated with Intel to optimize Assassin's Creed Shadows for their processors, ensuring smooth performance on Intel systems. Performance on AMD systems will be evaluated following the game's launch, addressing any potential issues. Fans are particularly interested in whether the game will sidestep the stuttering problems that plagued earlier entries in the series. The recent release, Assassin's Creed Mirage, demonstrated significant improvements in this area when compared to Origins, Odyssey, and Valhalla, raising hopes for a smooth experience with Shadows.
Mark your calendars—Assassin's Creed Shadows is set to launch on March 20 for both PC and consoles, promising to deliver a visually stunning and technically robust gaming experience.
