Ubisoft Delays Release of Assassin’s Creed Shadows to March 2025
In a recent strategic update, Ubisoft confirmed its decision to postpone the launch of Assassin’s Creed Shadows, now scheduled for March 20, 2025. This adjustment reflects the company’s renewed commitment to enhancing “gameplay quality and creating engaging Day-1 experiences”for players.
The additional time provided by this delay, moving the release from its previous date of February 14, 2025, allows developers to refine gameplay elements significantly. According to Ubisoft, this extension is designed to incorporate player feedback gathered over recent months, ensuring that the launch is optimized for the ever-growing and enthusiastic Assassin’s Creed community. This strategic approach also involves evaluating internal business practices to foster a better development environment.
Originally set for release on November 15, 2024, Assassin’s Creed Shadows has faced considerable scrutiny and debate since its announcement in May 2024. The game’s narrative, featuring Yasuke, a historically significant black samurai in Japan, has stirred discussions within the fan community. Ubisoft has addressed these concerns, clarifying that while the portrayal of Yasuke is inspired by historical figures, the franchise traditionally embraces creative liberties and fantasy elements to craft compelling narratives.
As anticipation builds, fans can expect Assassin’s Creed Shadows to arrive on major platforms including PS5, Xbox Series X, and Windows PC in March 2025. This latest delay marks Ubisoft’s most significant postponement for the franchise to date, emphasizing the importance the company places on delivering a polished and engaging product.
