Assassin’s Creed Shadows Trophy Glitch Could Prevent Unlocking Achievements
[summaraize]
In Assassin’s Creed Shadows, players are excited to dive into the Japanese adventures of Yasuke and Naoe. However, there is a problem with the PS5 version (likely affecting all versions): trophies are glitched and may not unlock.
The problem with Assassin’s Creed Shadows trophies is that if the game loses connection to the Ubisoft server, the trophy won’t unlock. This means if you don’t disconnect by accident while earning an achievement, nothing bad will happen, but if you’re unlucky, you may lose out on a trophy.
Assassin’s Creed Shadows Glitch May Prevent Trophies from Unlocking
For collectibles, this may not be a big issue, as you’ll still have them, and once you reconnect to Ubisoft’s servers, the game might recognize that you earned the trophy. However, for objectives tied to the end of a chapter, if the game disconnects, you may lose the trophy and have to start over to earn it again.
In the image shared on the PlayStation subreddit, it mentions that Act 2 is ‘particularly glitchy’ and recommends keeping manual saves on hand to go back and replay the end of the act if the trophy doesn’t unlock. It’s also wise to have a list of manual saves at intervals not too far apart so you can have a backup in case of problems
It’s noted that some glitched trophies may unlock on their own during an in-game load or just by restarting Assassin’s Creed Shadows. If that doesn’t work, you may need to create a new Uplay account, link it to your PlayStation profile, delete your local saves, reinstall the game, and replay it to earn any lost trophies. This is not something trophy hunters will enjoy doing.

Please don’t buy this game, I don’t care if it is the best game ever, the predatory nature of Ubisoft with SINGLE PLAYER BATTLEPASSES, ONLINE CONNECTION REQUIRED TO UNLOCK TROPHIES and so many other things are just not what we should be supporting with our hard earned money.
Wait for this to go on sale, or at least don’t buy this until the trophies become obtainable offline.
