Assassin’s Creed Shadows officially delayed to Valentine’s Day next year

The postponement of Assassin’s Creed Shadows was confirmed by a recent Ubisoft statement; the game is now scheduled for release on February 14, 2025. According to a tweet from the official @assassinscreed X/Twitter handle, the game, which was initially slated for November 12, 2024, has been postponed so that the development team can allegedly spend more time refining key features, such as the game’s stealth mechanics and the two-protagonist system.

This delay comes shortly after Ubisoft’s cancellations of its Tokyo Game Show appearance and scheduled press previews, both of which made the November release date sound iffy. Amid the turbulence, Ubisoft reassured fans that all preorders for Assassin’s Creed Shadows will be refunded, and future preorders will include a free first expansion as compensation.

Marc-Alexis Côté, the executive producer of the now-delayed game, stated the following in his post on behalf of the Assassin’s Creed Shadows’ teams:

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 ultimately your experience as a player.

Côté has been a key figure in the Assassin’s Creed franchise, previously working on Assassin’s Creed Syndicate and Assassin’s Creed Odyssey.
