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

Assassin's Creed Shadows' release is shifted to March 2025, allowing Ubisoft to integrate player feedback for a superior gaming experience. This article delves into the delay and Ubisoft's plans.

Enhanced Gameplay: Ubisoft's Focus

Assassin's Creed Shadows' launch is delayed until March 20th, 2025, to incorporate player feedback and deliver a polished, immersive experience. This marks the second delay; the initial 2024 release was postponed to February 14th, 2025, and now further to March.

Ubisoft's official X (formerly Twitter) and Facebook announcements explain the decision, stating that valuable community feedback necessitated additional time to ensure a more engaging launch experience.

Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot's press release reinforces this, highlighting the commitment to delivering the franchise's most ambitious title. The extra development time aims to fully realize the game's potential and conclude the year strongly.

The press release also mentions Ubisoft's appointment of advisors to explore strategic options for maximizing stakeholder value. This restructuring follows disappointing performance from 2024 releases like Star Wars Outlaws and XDefiant.

While officially attributed to incorporating feedback, speculation suggests the delay might be a strategic response to the crowded February release calendar, featuring titles such as Kingdom Come: Deliverance II, Civilization VII, Avowed, and Monster Hunter Wilds. This could position Shadows for greater visibility.
