Ubisoft is keeping the momentum going for Assassin’s Creed Shadows with a fresh new update set to drop on June 25—and this one comes with a special twist: a Critical Role crossover featuring voice actor Robbie Daymond.
Despite a rocky road during development, Assassin’s Creed Shadows has emerged as a major win for Ubisoft.
Thanks to solid reviews and strong player feedback, the team has continued to support the game with free content updates and story expansions post-launch.
The June 25 update is no exception and is already getting attention thanks to a teaser involving a fan-favorite from a past promo event.
🎭 Robbie Daymond Returns as Rufino
In a short teaser video, Robbie Daymond confirmed that his character Rufino—first introduced in a promotional one-shot—will be officially joining the game in this update.
Styled in a Portuguese-inspired outfit, Rufino is more than just a cameo this time around. Players will now be able to recruit him as an ally, potentially giving him a larger role than most post-launch characters.
Ubisoft hasn’t dropped full patch notes yet, but the focus on Rufino suggests the story content might have some real substance this time.
Given the popularity of Daymond and his ties to Critical Role, this update is a cool nod to fans of both franchises.
🗡️ More Free Content, Expansion on the Horizon
Ubisoft has been dropping free story missions since launch, letting players keep exploring Shadows’ world even after finishing the main campaign.
The June 25 update is expected to follow that pattern while building anticipation for the upcoming Claws of Awaji expansion.
We don’t have a confirmed date for Claws of Awaji yet, but current rumors suggest a September or October release window. Ubisoft has already said the expansion will be free for players who pre-ordered the game—likely as a thank-you for sticking with it through delays. It’ll also be available for purchase separately for everyone else.
Whether you’re here for the new content or just a Critical Role fan excited to see Robbie Daymond’s Rufino step into the spotlight, Assassin’s Creed Shadows continues to show Ubisoft’s commitment to keeping the game alive post-launch.
