Developer and publisher Ubisoft has just announced that Assassin’s Creed Shadows will be delayed from its original November 15, 2024 release date to February 14, 2025. According to Ubisoft, the reason for the delay is because they require “more time to polish and refine the experience”.
You can view the full statement from Marc-Alexis Cote from Ubisoft below:
Assassin’s Creed Shadows is a dream project for us; finally bringing the series to Feudal Japan with many features developed with our community in mind, such as parkour or the renewed stealth, brought by new technology, all set in a beautiful and immersive world.
This is an ambitious addition to the franchise, a rich experience that can be lived through the eyes of two unique protagonists – but we realize we need more time to polish and refine the experience, pushing further some of our key features.
