Assassin's Creed Shadows Update 1.1.11 Adds Black Tides & Domains
Assassin’s Creed Shadows Title Update 1.1.11 is Ubisoft’s final major content drop for the game, and it is much larger than a routine bug-fix patch. The update adds a free story-capper called Black Tides, the replay-focused Domains feature, a third Modern Day Rift, crossover Projects, balance changes, and platform-specific improvements.
News summary
Title Update 1.1.11 released June 16, 2026, with Nintendo Switch 2 following on June 19.
Ubisoft describes the update as the final major content drop for Assassin’s Creed Shadows, led by the free Black Tides story arc and the Domains endgame activity.
Update overview
Black Tides introduces elite Templars known as the Black Cross and is positioned as a story-capper for Naoe and Yasuke.
Domains adds five gameplay simulations across ten challenge levels, with modifiers, exclusive rewards, a dedicated currency and shop, and a progression tree.
