Assassin's Creed Shadows Claws of Awaji DLC New Teaser Breakdown

Ubisoft has finally revealed the release date for Assassin's Creed Shadows: Claws of Awaji DLC, which is launching on September 16, 2025. They have also shared a brand-new short teaser for the DLC. Here is the full breakdown of the new teaser.

In the opening scene you can see a mysterious character from behind, holding a kanabo. He wears a dark red armored outfit with gold shell-like patterns on the sleeves. The symbol on the back of the character in the image appears to resemble a stylized wood grain pattern, which is highly likely to be a mon (family crest or emblem), a traditional Japanese symbol used to represent clans, families, or organizations. The pattern looks natural and abstract, evoking the look of topographic lines or swirling wood grain, which might symbolize strength, nature, or lineage.

The 2nd scene shows a dark, shadowy figure crouching on a tree branch in the middle of a forest at night. This could be a member of the new enemy faction, Sanzoku Ippa. Moonlight shines through the trees, lighting up the figure just enough to reveal their armor and a curved weapon in hand. The enemy looks ready to strike or watch from above, hidden in the darkness.

In the 3rd scene a person is seen running through a forest path, unaware that he's triggering a tripwire trap stretched across the ground. The wire is connected to trees on both sides and is barely visible in the dim lighting. In the bottom image, the trap has been activated, an explosion erupts in the background with sparks and flames bursting out violently. This trap appears to have been set by the new enemy faction, Sanzoku Ippa.

In the 4th scene Naoe is fighting with two enemies. She is flipping over two enemies while holding a long staff weapon called a Bo. This seems to be a new skill that lets her attack while jumping through the air.

In the 5th and final scene, Naoe shows her hidden blade to a mysterious woman, who immediately recognizes her and calls her by name. It looks like Naoe has finally found her mother, Tsuyu, in the Assassin's Creed Shadows Claws of Awaji DLC.
