Ubisoft has announced the surprise delay of Assassin’s Creed Shadows. Instead of launching on November 15 as planned, the game is now slated to come out on February 14, 2025.
“Assassin’s Creed Shadows will now be released on February 14, 2025,” Ubisoft said. “While the game is feature complete, the learnings from the Star Wars Outlaws release led us to provide additional time to further polish the title.
“This will enable the biggest entry in the franchise to fully deliver on its ambition, notably by fulfilling the promise of our dual protagonist adventure, with Naoe and Yasuke bringing two very different gameplay styles.”
News of the announcement, which came via a financial update released today, followed an equally surprising last-minute cancellation of an appearance at the Tokyo Game Show.
“Regarding our online exhibit at Tokyo Game Show 2024, scheduled to begin at 3:00 pm on September 26th, due to various circumstances we regret to inform you that we have decided to cancel our participation in the exhibition,” Ubisoft Japan announced on X (translation via alt text). “The currently ongoing giveaway campaign to commemorate the official release will continue. We apologize for the short notice. We sincerely apologize to everyone who was looking forward to the release.”
This story is developing. We will update when more information is available.
