Assassin’s Creed Shadows With New Release Date

So, we have bad news for Assassin's Creed fans. If you were excited to play Assassin’s Creed Shadows, the franchise’s first Japan-inspired game, you'll have to wait a little longer. Ubisoft has announced that the game’s release has been delayed yet again. In this article, we'll discuss when Assassin’s Creed Shadows will be released.

Assassin’s Creed Shadows New Release Date

As you might already know, the game was supposed to be released in the fall of 2024. However, a previous delay pushed the new installment back to February 14. Now, Assassin's Creed fans are met with a new delay. This new adjustment marks the second delay for the title, extending the wait by about a month. Assassin's Creed Shadows will be released on March 20. This is the current official launch date.

Reasons for the Delay

Ubisoft released an official statement in which they explain that the Assassin's Creed team needs additional time to incorporate feedback from the community. They'll be taking a few extra weeks to make the experience with the final product even better. You can read the official statement above.

Conclusion

Despite the delays, excitement remains high for Assassin’s Creed Shadows. The game promises to immerse players in a richly detailed depiction of feudal Japan, a setting fans have waited for. Is this a bad omen, though? Some might think that a few extra weeks won't make a huge difference, as it will make the team rush changes.

For now, fans will have to wait until March 20 to step into the shadows. Hopefully, the additional time will make the wait worthwhile, delivering a fresh new Assassin’s Creed title.
