Ubisoft has announced that the highly anticipated game Assassin's Creed Shadows has been delayed to February 14, 2025. Originally set for release on November 12, the delay is attributed to lessons learned from the mixed reception of Star Wars Outlaws, which faced numerous technical issues. Players who pre-ordered will receive refunds, while those who pre-order again will gain access to the first expansion as a bonus. The game will be available on multiple platforms, including PCs via Steam.

What are the reasons for the delay of Assassin's Creed Shadows?

The delay was primarily due to Ubisoft's decision to ensure a smoother launch after the issues faced by Star Wars Outlaws, which experienced significant bugs and technical problems at launch. Ubisoft aims to apply the lessons learned from that release to deliver a more polished experience with Assassin's Creed Shadows.

Assassin's Creed Shadows expands the well-loved Assassin's Creed franchise, known for its immersive storytelling and historic settings. The game promises to incorporate stealth gameplay and an enhanced open-world experience, which are hallmarks of the series. Ubisoft has set high expectations for Shadows as it continues to develop innovative content within this popular universe.
