Assassin's Creed Shadows Postponed Indefinitely

Assassin's Creed Shadows: A March 2025 Release

Ubisoft has announced another delay for Assassin's Creed Shadows, pushing the release date to March 20, 2025. Initially slated for a February 14th launch, this five-week postponement aims to further refine and polish the game based on player feedback.

The game's journey to release has been marked by two significant delays. The first, announced in September 2024, shifted the launch from November 15th to February 14th, 2025. While the initial delay cited the need to improve the game, this second delay directly addresses player feedback.

Marc-Alexis Coté, vice president executive producer of the Assassin's Creed franchise, emphasized Ubisoft's commitment to delivering a high-quality, immersive experience through ongoing player-developer communication. Both delays, he stated, provide crucial time for refinement and polishing.

Release Date:

• March 20, 2025

Following the September delay, Ubisoft offered pre-order refunds and free access to the first expansion for those who pre-ordered. While no similar compensation has been announced for this latest postponement, the shorter delay may mitigate potential player frustration.

This additional delay may also be linked to Ubisoft's internal investigation into its development practices, launched to enhance player focus and address recent financial setbacks. Incorporating fan feedback into Assassin's Creed Shadows aligns with this "player-centric" initiative.
