Ubisoft, the French video game company, has announced another delay for its upcoming game Assassin’s Creed Shadows. This is the second time the game has been postponed, with the first delay happening in September 2024.
The decision was made to improve the quality of the game and ensure a better experience for players. Ubisoft’s executive board explained that they want to deliver a great experience from the first day and have decided to give developers an extra month to work on the game. This additional time will allow the team to incorporate feedback from the community over the last three months.
Next Release Date of Assassin’s Creed Shadows
The new release date for Assassin’s Creed Shadows is now set for 20 March 2025. The game will be available on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.
The delay might also help the game avoid competing with other big releases expected in early 2025. Some highly anticipated titles include Monster Hunter Wilds, Avowed, Like a Dragon Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii, Kingdom Come Deliverance 2, Civilization 7, and Dynasty Warriors Origins. These games are likely to attract a lot of attention, so giving Assassin’s Creed Shadows its own space could be a smart move.
The game follows the story of Naoe and Yasuke, offering a thrilling adventure in an open-world setting. While the delay might be disappointing for fans, it shows Ubisoft’s focus on delivering a polished and enjoyable game. The extra wait until March 2025 will hopefully be worth it.
