Ubisoft has just released an exciting new trailer for Assassin's Creed Shadows, showcasing the impressive features of the PC version. The trailer emphasizes the game's support for advanced upscaling technologies like DLSS 3.7, FSR 3.1, and XeSS 2, which promise to enhance visual quality and performance. Additionally, the game is optimized for ultra-wide monitors, ensuring a more immersive gaming experience. For those looking to dive into the world of shadows with stunning graphics, the PC version will also feature Ray Traced Global Illumination (RTGI) and Ray Traced Reflections, bringing the environments to life with unparalleled realism.
The developers have gone the extra mile to ensure that Assassin's Creed Shadows is accessible to a wide range of PC users by including extensive settings tailored for lower-spec machines. This means that even players with less powerful systems can enjoy the game without sacrificing too much on visual quality. A built-in benchmark tool will also be available at launch, allowing players to test and optimize their system's performance.
For those aiming to play at 1080p and 30 FPS, the minimum system requirements 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. If you're looking to push the boundaries with 4K resolution and 60 FPS on ultra settings with advanced ray tracing, you'll need a beefier setup, such as an Intel Core i7 13700K or AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D processor and an RTX 4090 (24 GB) graphics card.
Ubisoft has partnered with Intel to optimize Assassin's Creed Shadows for their processors, promising smooth gameplay. While performance on AMD systems will be evaluated after the game's release, fans are hopeful that the title will steer clear of the stuttering issues that plagued earlier entries in the series. It's worth noting that the previous game, Mirage, made significant strides in this area compared to Origins, Odyssey, and Valhalla.
Assassin's Creed Shadows is set to launch on March 20 for both PC and consoles, marking another exciting chapter in the storied franchise.
