Ubisoft has decided to celebrate the first anniversary of Assassin’s Creed Shadows with a small incentive that many players are already taking advantage of. The company has shared a free code that allows you to unlock a reward within the game at no cost, as long as you have an active copy.

This is not a common practice for Ubisoft to give away content like this without conditions, so if you’re playing these days or have the game pending, it’s a great opportunity to add an exclusive weapon to your inventory without spending a dime.

Free Assassin’s Creed Shadows code and how to get the Switchblade katana

The reward is the Switchblade katana, a weapon with a very striking design that stands out for its blue handle and black and orange details with a tiger-like finish. It’s purely cosmetic and playable within the title, so you’ll be able to use it without restrictions once unlocked.

To get it, simply redeem this code:

• ACSH-GIFT-YEAR-2026

The process is simple:

• Access the official Ubisoft code website
• Log in with your Ubisoft Connect account
• Enter the code and confirm the redemption
• When you start the game, you’ll find the katana in your inventory

Once completed, you’ll receive a confirmation message and the item will be linked to your account. You don’t need to buy anything additional, just have the game and your account active. This type of reward is usually available for a limited time, so it’s recommended to redeem the code as soon as possible to avoid missing out.
