I have played the expansion once, so far, though less stealthy than I could have wished for, on the bright side I finally got the Up and Down-Trophy which you get for taking out an enemy by first shadow leaping to the ceiling and then performing a drop-kill on your unsuspecting victim. During my first playthrough I found that your initial set of shadow techniques is quite sufficient for finishing the game on Normal difficulty, but you can, of course, gather collectibles and gain points to expand your arsenal. Also, Kunai can now be used to booby-trap bodies (exploding kunai), meaning that if you wait for guards to approach and investigate, you can blow them up, too. The Shadow Kill now has you summon a panther that will leap at your victim out of thin air and swallow it (this is instead of the already awesome dragon Ryo commands).

So, yeah, there are a couple of new shadow powers that come with this expansion. For a limited time, you can enjoy savings on a multitude of titles, including Assassin’s Creed Valhalla Deluxe Edition (PS4 & PS5, 60 off), Deathloop Deluxe Edition (PS5, 50 off. Also, you can summon either Hyo or Shinobu for a synchronized kill, which is pretty cool. The Extended Play promotion, discounting select deluxe and ultimate editions of games as well as season passes and add-ons, comes to PlayStation Store on May 11.
