Assassin's Creed Shadows Faces Another Delay, Now Targeting March 20, 2025
Ubisoft has announced a further delay for the highly anticipated Assassin's Creed Shadows, pushing its release date from February 14, 2025, to March 20, 2025. This marks the second postponement for the title, initially slated for a November 2024 launch. The publisher cites the need for additional refinement and polishing based on player feedback as the reason for the delay.
The initial delay, announced in September 2024, shifted the release date by three months. While the first postponement was attributed to development challenges concerning historical accuracy, this latest adjustment prioritizes incorporating player feedback. Marc-Alexis Coté, Vice President and Executive Producer of the Assassin's Creed franchise, emphasized Ubisoft's commitment to delivering a high-quality, immersive experience shaped by ongoing player interaction. Both delays, according to Coté, provide crucial time for the development team to refine and polish the game.
Revised Release Date:
- March 20, 2025
Following the September announcement, Ubisoft offered pre-order refunds and promised free access to the game's first expansion for future pre-orders to mitigate player disappointment. Whether similar compensation will be offered for this shorter delay remains unannounced.
This additional delay might also be connected to Ubisoft's ongoing internal investigation into its development practices, launched to enhance player-centricity. The company experienced record losses in its 2023 fiscal year, prompting this internal review. Prioritizing player feedback through this delay could be a strategic move aligning with the investigation's goals.
