Assassin’s Creed Shadows officially delayed to 2025, Ubisoft confirms

Assassin's Creed Shadows is no longer targeting a 2024 release

Well, this was perhaps to be expected.

Ubisoft has confirmed that Assassin’s Creed Shadows has officially been delayed.

Originally set to launch on 15 November 2024, the game has now been pushed back into 2025.

This comes after Ubisoft cancelled the game’s appearance at the ongoing Tokyo Games Show, although the company didn’t provide a reason why.

Assassin’s Creed Shadows will now launch on 14 February 2025 - that’s if it isn’t subjected to further delays.

Ubisoft explained that all current pre-orders are set to be refunded, with players who go on to pre-order when orders open up again due to receive the game’s first expansion for free.

Take a look at the trailer for Assassin’s Creed Shadows below.

“Dear players, Assassin’s Creed Shadows is a dream project for us; finally bringing the series to Feudal Japan with many features developed with our community in mind, such as parkour or the renewed stealth, brought by new technology, all set in a beautiful and immersive world,” a statement began.

“This is an ambitious addition to the franchise, a rich experience that can be lived through the eyes of two unique protagonists - but we realise we need more time to polish and refine the experience, pushing further some of our key features.”

“As such, we’ve made the decision to postpone the release date to February 14 2025. The game will release on a broad range of platforms, including Steam at launch. Additionally, preorders will be refunded and all future preorders will be granted the first expansion for free.”

“We understand this decision will come as disappointing news, especially to those who’ve been waiting patiently for an Assassin’s Creed game inspired by Feudal Japan, but we sincerely believe this is in the best interest of the game, and your experience as a player,” it continues.

The statement was released on social media by Ubisoft’s Marc-Alexis Côté.
