One of the standout additions in this update is the introduction of a Balatro Trinket, which players can find within the game.

While Ubisoft has kept the exact method of obtaining the trinket under wraps, they encourage players to work together to uncover its location.

In a surprising twist, Assassin’s Creed Shadows has teamed up with Dead by Daylight for its first major crossover event. Villagers are mysteriously disappearing in Harima, and it’s up to Naoe and Yasuke to investigate and confront a sinister, otherworldly force. The event introduces a free quest and rewards players with a trinket and banner upon completion.

For those looking to customize their characters even further, a Dead by Daylight-inspired pack is now available in the in-game store. This includes new outfits, themed weapons, and even a chance to ride the loyal, undead steed Maurice.
