Assassin's Creed Shadows, initially slated for a February 14, 2025 release, has been delayed until March 20, 2025. This decision follows an earlier postponement from its original November 2024 release date. Ubisoft aims to incorporate player feedback to enhance the game's quality. The five-week delay follows a previous three-month delay announced in September 2024. The initial delay, attributed to development challenges concerning historical accuracy, was met with pre-order refunds and offers of free expansion access.
The September announcement shifted the release from November 15, 2024, to February 14, 2025, with Ubisoft stating the delay was "in the best interest of the game." This latest delay, however, directly addresses fan feedback. Marc-Alexis Coté, Vice President Executive Producer of the Assassin's Creed franchise, emphasized Ubisoft's commitment to a high-quality experience, fostered by player-developer communication. Both delays share the common goal of providing extra time to refine and polish the game.
Ubisoft's September announcement included pre-order refunds and free expansion access for future pre-orders to appease players disappointed by the initial delay. While there's no confirmation of similar compensation for this shorter delay, the impact is expected to be less significant than the previous three-month postponement.
This recent delay may also be linked to Ubisoft's internal investigation into its practices, launched to improve player focus and address recent financial setbacks, including record losses in fiscal year 2023. Incorporating fan feedback into Assassin's Creed Shadows aligns with this "player-centric" initiative.
