Publisher Ubisoft has opened their Hideout to reveal the complete Achievement List for their upcoming action RPG Assassin's Creed Shadows. This list features visible and hidden achievements that players can unlock by clearing in-game content like the main story campaign, side quests, meeting specific combat adjectives, exploration, and other activities.
Furthermore, the publisher has explicitly stated that players can unlock all achievements "in a single playthrough," and likewise, players will never miss one irrespective of the narrative decisions they've made, but until the game's release, some have been kept "hidden." This guide lists all the visible and hidden achievements to unlock during their playthrough of Assassin's Creed Shadows at launch.
All Achievements & Trophies To Unlock In Assassin's Creed Shadows
As confirmed by Ubisoft in a recent blog post via Steam on 26th February 2025, the Achievement List for Assassin's Creed Shadows will be the exact list appearing across PlayStation, Xbox, and PC. Additionally, players can unlock most, if not all, of the achievements in one playthrough with the bonus that they're not difficulty-locked.
This means that regardless of the difficulty selected to experience Assassin's Creed Shadows, players can still unlock them all, and "no achievement can be missed regardless of what story choices" players will make. Furthermore, these achievements cover every gameplay aspect available to players at launch, including the main story to side quests, exploration, meeting NPCs, their Hideout base, and more in-game content.
As of writing, we cannot confirm every trophy (PlayStation achievement) rarity nor what Gamerscore (Xbox) or XP (PlayStation) is being offered for each achievement, and as such, this guide will be updated to confirm them upon its release. Likewise, there are a few "hidden" achievements whose descriptions have remained a secret for now, but these will be updated once Assassin's Creed Shadows launches on 20th March 2025.
With that said, let's look at the complete Achievement List for Assassin's Creed Shadows across consoles and PCs, which is listed in alphabetical order momentarily:
