Ubisoft's Jonathan Dumont comments on the possibility of tougher difficulty options coming to Assassin's Creed Shadows in the future.

Despite a rather rocky road to release, beset by delays and numerous online controversies, and an uncertain future for publisher Ubisoft in general, Assassin's Creed Shadows has had a very healthy debut.

Depending on the gameplay options chosen, Assassin's Creed Shadows can be a challenging game, but Ubisoft is considering turning the difficulty up to 11 in the future. Amidst community feedback and patches, Ubisoft says it is "actively looking at" making a higher difficulty setting for fans who want to put their skills to the ultimate test.
