Assassin's Creed Shadows: a real graphic slap in 4K, it's absolutely sublime

After months of uncertainty as the controversies continued, Assassin's Creed Shadows finally had a rather satisfactory release. With sales rising rapidly in the first few days, Ubisoft seems satisfied with this launch. What's more, the critical and public reception is particularly favorable. Among the most remarkable points, we can without hesitation mention the environment, which some players have understood very well, you will see.

Assassin's Creed Shadows again sublimated

If Assassin's Creed Shadows is a game exclusive to the new generation, it's not for nothing. When you launch the game and start to stroll through the Japanese landscapes, we understand why. The environments are teeming with details and Ubisoft has particularly worked on the rendering to dazzle us with a decor worthy of a postcard.

What if we told you that Assassin's Creed Shadows could be even more beautiful than what you know with the native version? Content creator DigitalDreams has finally given a little boost to Ubisoft's title to dazzle you in 4K and at 180 frames per second. Of course, we say thank you to the RTX 5090 graphics card and the 200 mods applied, but the result is there.

In its latest video, DigitalDreams takes us on foot and on horseback with Naoe to the heart of the lush settings of Assassin's Creed Shadows. The lighting effects, and the wind in particular, are even more realistic, especially when we observe how they adapt to the environment. At the same time, we see a refinement of the textures which helps to enhance the whole thing. It really feels like you're there..

That said, even with such performance, there are still some limitations. DigitalDreams' work also shows how complicated it still is to achieve a completely clear rendering. Typically, you'll notice slight trails left by Naoe's outfit as she moves. In addition, the camera movements seem choppier than usual, but this could also be due to the video compression. However, we can only recognize that Assassin's Creed Shadows to raise current standards.
