Is There a Battle Pass? Projects Explained

Add to Watchlist

Is There a Battle Pass

Projects are the free battle pass system in Assassin's Creed Shadows (AC Shadows). Read on to learn more about Projects and their rewards, including info on how to unlock and level them up.

Is There a Battle Pass?

Projects are Free Battle Passes

Available Projects

Projects are free reward systems that function similar to battle passes in Assassin's Creed Shadows. By earning Data Fragments (battle pass XP), players can get rewards whenever the project levels up.

AC Shadows will feature multiple Projects that you can activate. However, do note that only one Project can be active at any given time. You can switch between active Projects since progress is saved even after switching.

Rewards Exchange Store Currency

Projects are one of the best ways to earn Exchange Store Currency. At key levels, you'll earn up to 1500 Keys that you can then spend on premium items in the Exchange Store.
