Assassin's Creed Shadows Pushed Back to February 2025

Sep 25, 2024 4:02 PM

Ubisoft has announced a delay for the eagerly awaited game, Assassin's Creed Shadows, moving its release date from November 12, 2024, to February 14, 2025. The company cited the need for additional time to enhance and refine gameplay features. Assassin's Creed Shadows will debut on Steam the same day, marking a shift from previous releases. Ubisoft also revealed that all pre-order customers will receive the first expansion for free, breaking away from the traditional season pass model. Following the softer than expected launch of Star Wars Outlaws, Ubisoft is investing further resources into ensuring the success of Shadows, which will feature dual protagonists, Naoe and Yasuke, each offering distinct gameplay styles.

Why was Assassin's Creed Shadows delayed?

Assassin's Creed Shadows was delayed to allow Ubisoft more time to polish and refine the game, particularly focusing on key features and to optimize the dual protagonist experience after feedback from earlier titles.

Assassin's Creed Shadows is the latest entry in the renowned Assassin's Creed franchise, known for its open-world exploration and historical narratives. This installment introduces players to new protagonists and gameplay mechanics, continuing the series' legacy while responding to lessons learned from past releases. The game promises to deliver an ambitious narrative and gameplay experience for fans of the series.
