Breaking: 'Assassin's Creed Shadows' Postponed to March 2025 for Enhanced Experience

Assassin's Creed Shadows' release is shifted to March 20th, 2025, allowing Ubisoft to integrate player feedback and enhance the overall gaming experience. This follows a previous delay from its initial 2024 target to February 14th, 2025. Learn more about the reasons behind the delay and Ubisoft's future plans.

Ubisoft Prioritizes Player Engagement

Ubisoft's decision to postpone Assassin's Creed Shadows stems from a commitment to delivering a high-quality, immersive experience. The company acknowledges the valuable feedback received from its community and believes that additional development time is necessary to fully incorporate this input. This announcement was made via official channels, including X (formerly Twitter) and Facebook.

Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot emphasized the company's dedication to creating a flagship Assassin's Creed title. In a press release, he stated that the extra development month will allow for better integration of player feedback, maximizing the game's potential and concluding the year strongly.

The press release also revealed Ubisoft's ongoing restructuring efforts, including the appointment of advisors to explore strategic options for maximizing stakeholder value. This follows the underperformance of several 2024 releases, including Star Wars Outlaws and XDefiant.

While officially attributed to incorporating player feedback, speculation exists that the delay is strategically timed to avoid competition with other major February releases such as Kingdom Come: Deliverance II, Civilization VII, Avowed, and Monster Hunter Wilds. This could be a calculated move to garner greater attention for Assassin's Creed Shadows.
