- Assassin’s Creed Shadows has been delayed to March 2025
- It’s the game’s second delay, after its original release date dropped from November 2024 to February
- Ubisoft is making the announcement as part of a broader strategic update
Ubisoft has delayed Assassin’s Creed Shadows the second time, with the game’s release slipping from February to March this year.
Originally scheduled for release in November 2024, the game was delayed to February 14, 2025 to allow more time for additional polish, but has now received another delay of nearly five weeks.
As part of a wider strategic update statement, a Ubisoft states that: “As part of the renewed focus on game quality and engaging day one experiences, it has been decided to give an extra month of development to Assassin’s Creed Shadows.
“This additional time will allow the team to better incorporate the player feedback gathered over the past three months and help create the best conditions for launch by continuing to engage closely with the increasingly positive Assassin’s Creed community.”
Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot added: “We are all behind our team’s efforts to create the most ambitious Assassin’s Creed opus of the franchise and made the decision to give an extra month of development Shadows to better incorporate the player feedback gathered over the last three months, which will enable us to fully deliver on the game’s potential and end the year on a strong note.”
Any extra time when developing a game is rarely a bad thing, and fans of the series will hope that these extra few precious weeks will ensure Shadows is having a great run at being added to the upper echelons of the internet’s overall best Assassin’s Creed games list.
