According to a report from iXBT.games, Assassin’s Creed Shadows is set to get a tabletop tactical stealth game. So far, this is the only confirmed detail. The report doesn’t mention a publisher, price, player count, or release window for the board game.
Consider this an early report rather than a complete announcement. Ubisoft hasn’t released any details that we could find, and we haven’t verified the claim through an official Ubisoft source. We’ll keep you updated as more information becomes available.
This concept fits well within the series. Shadows, which Ubisoft launched on March 20, 2025, features two protagonists and balances stealth with open combat. Turn-based tactical stealth maps align nicely with that structure, although we haven’t seen any specific rules or mechanics yet.
This report comes as Shadows continues to receive steady coverage. Recently, Explosion featured PC performance tests that utilized DLSS 5, as well as a story about Ubisoft employees competing to design the game’s hideouts. A tabletop spin-off would expand this interest beyond just PC and console players.
The pricing for the video game itself seems odd. Our tracker shows Shadows listed at $0.99 on Steam. That price is unusually low for a 2025 Ubisoft release, so check the live store page before making a purchase. It might be a promotion or just a data glitch.

Community Pulse
The general sentiment about Shadows is mostly negative based on the 10 signals we’ve gathered. One dissatisfied Steam reviewer commented: “If you hunt to get 100% completions, prepare to shell out $90 USD in DLC to get the last achievement for that hundo.” This feedback focuses on monetization rather than the game’s stealth design. So, if the tabletop spin-off has similar add-on pricing, it might face skepticism from the audience.
What To Watch
- Official confirmation: Keep an eye out for an announcement from Ubisoft or a named tabletop publisher to confirm this report and its details.
- Price and format: Watch for whether the game is released as a standalone product or includes expansions, considering player frustration over paid add-ons.
- Release timing: No date has been set yet, so any crowdfunding or retail listing would be the first solid indication.
