Ubisoft has recently released an exciting trailer for the PC version of Assassin's Creed Shadows, showcasing its advanced features that promise to elevate the gaming experience. The trailer spotlights the game's support for cutting-edge upscaling technologies such as DLSS 3.7, FSR 3.1, and XeSS 2, which will enhance visual fidelity and performance. Additionally, the game will support ultra-wide monitors, ensuring an immersive experience for players with expansive screens.
One of the key highlights is the inclusion of real-time global illumination (RTGI) and ray-traced reflections (RT Reflections), which will add stunning realism to the game's environments. Ubisoft has also tailored extensive settings to cater to players with lower-spec PCs, making Assassin's Creed Shadows accessible to a broader audience.
The PC version will come equipped with a built-in benchmark tool, allowing players to test and optimize their system's performance. This feature is particularly useful for those looking to fine-tune their settings for the best possible gameplay experience.
For those wondering about the system requirements, to achieve a smooth gameplay at 1080p and 30 FPS, the minimum specs include an Intel Core i7 8700K or AMD Ryzen 5 3600 processor, alongside an NVIDIA GTX 1070 (8 GB) or AMD RX 5700 (8 GB) GPU. On the higher end, for those aiming to play at 4K and 60 FPS with ultra settings and advanced ray tracing, you'll need an Intel Core i7 13700K or AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D processor and an RTX 4090 (24 GB) graphics card.
Ubisoft has collaborated with Intel to optimize Assassin's Creed Shadows for their processors, promising excellent performance. While AMD system performance will be evaluated post-launch, fans are hopeful that the game will maintain smooth gameplay without the stuttering issues that plagued some previous entries in the series. Notably, Assassin's Creed Mirage showed significant improvements in this aspect compared to Origins, Odyssey, and Valhalla.
Mark your calendars—Assassin's Creed Shadows is set to launch on March 20 for both PC and consoles, and it's shaping up to be a must-play for fans of the franchise and newcomers alike.
