Ubisoft has announced another delay for its highly anticipated game Assassin’s Creed Shadows. Originally scheduled for release on February 14, the new launch date is set for March 20, 2025.
Reason for the Delay
According to Ubisoft, the postponement aims to ensure the best possible player experience by incorporating feedback gathered over the past three months. In a statement, the developer emphasized its commitment to delivering a polished game, stating:
“This additional time will help create the best conditions for launch by continuing to engage closely with the increasingly positive Assassin’s Creed community.”
A History of Delays
This marks the second rescheduling for Assassin’s Creed Shadows. Initially slated for November 15, 2024, the game was first delayed to February 14, 2025, due to performance concerns related to Ubisoft’s other title, Star Wars Outlaws.
Now pushed to March 20, 2025, Ubisoft is taking the extra time to address remaining concerns and refine the game’s quality.
Strategic Realignment at Ubisoft
Ubisoft has also undergone significant internal changes aimed at boosting efficiency and delivering top-tier player experiences. In a recent statement, the company highlighted ongoing strategic reviews to position itself for long-term success.
Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot commented:
“We have taken decisive steps to reshape the Group in order to deliver best-in-class player experiences, enhance operational efficiency, and maximize value creation. We are actively exploring various strategic and capitalistic options to unlock the full value potential of our assets and franchises.”
