Assassin’s Creed Shadows Delayed To March 2025 to Implement Player Feedback

Assassin's Creed Shadows' release date has been shifted to March 20th, 2025. Ubisoft cites the need to integrate player feedback for a superior gaming experience. This marks the second delay for the title, initially slated for 2024, then February 14th, 2025.

Enhancing Player Engagement: Ubisoft's Commitment

Ubisoft's official announcement on X (formerly Twitter) and Facebook highlights the value of community feedback. While significant progress has been made, the additional time will refine the game for a more immersive and engaging launch.

Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot reinforced this commitment in a press release, emphasizing the team's dedication to creating the franchise's most ambitious Assassin's Creed title. The extra development month aims to fully realize the game's potential and conclude the year strongly.

The press release also revealed Ubisoft's strategic restructuring, involving external advisors to optimize value for stakeholders. This follows the underperformance of 2024 releases like Star Wars Outlaws and XDefiant.

While the official reason focuses on player feedback, speculation suggests the delay may be strategically timed to avoid competition with other February releases, including highly anticipated titles like Kingdom Come: Deliverance II, Civilization VII, Avowed, and Monster Hunter Wilds.
