Assassin’s Creed Shadows Finally Gives Parkour Fans the Big Red Button: Manual Jump

Assassin’s Creed Shadows Title Update 1.1.8 adds manual jump (via an “Advanced Parkour” setting), plus a bunch of polish like clearer critical-hit feedback and improved stat visibility.

What it means for gamers: movement is “feel,” and feel is replay value. Manual jump isn’t flashy marketing content, but it’s the kind of change that makes exploration, stealth routes, speedrunning lines, and general traversal click in a way that keeps people coming back.
