Horse Auto-Follow Now Available in Assassin’s Creed Shadows

jasonnieva April 10, 2025

It hasn't been long since Assassin’s Creed Shadows was released on Steam. Since then, players have been giving feedback and it appears that Ubisoft has been listening. As a result, the first set of improvements are now available.

One of these is the Horse Auto-Follow. In particular, Auto-Follow allows players to navigate while they're riding a horse. All that needs to be done is to activate the pathfinder which then enables Auto-Follow. Once this is done, the horse automatically follows the road to the marked destination. Players should be happy to know the horse speeds in cities have been increased. This should allow players to reach their destination faster.

Selling/Dismantling Multiple Items

By now, a lot of players have probably been hard at work exploring every corner of Feudal Japan. What this means is that they've likely filled their pockets with resources and loot. As a way of saving time when it comes to trading with merchants, the development team has added an option to tag and sell/dismantle multiple items in shops. This is also true when dismantling gear at the Forge in the Hideout.

Mastery Nodes Reset

An improvement that a lot of players are sure to love is the ability to reset Mastery Nodes. With this, they'll be able to test different playstyles and skills not only for Naoe but even for Yasuke.

Investigation Board Shortcut

Another important change is on the Investigation Board. This feature is central to the journey of the players and to make things easier, a new shortcut has been added to allow direct access while in-game. All players need to do is hold the "Option" button for a few seconds. After that, they should be taken directly to the Investigation Board. A single press meanwhile opens the inventory menu.
