Assassin's Creed Shadows delayed into 2025, set to launch on Steam day one
Ubisoft had delayed Assassin's Creed Shadows by three months.
The open-world action packed adventure game was due to release November 12th, 2024, now it is set to release February 14th, 2025.
Ubisoft released a statement saying it needs more time "to polish and refine the experience, pushing further some of our key features."
In good light Ubisoft has confirmed steam will be able to play the game from day-one, unlike the PC version of the company's previous major release, Star Wars Outlaws.
This news is raising concerns from some about how Ubisoft is being run.
Executive producer Marc-Alexis Cote said the developers "need more time to polish and refine the experience."
He also says "We understand this decision will come as disappointing news," "But we sincerely believe this is in the best interest of the game."
The traditional Season Pass Model is being removed from this upcoming release. "All players will be able to enjoy the game at the same time on February 14 and those who preorder the game will be granted the first expansion for free," Ubisoft said. It was also stated all existing preorders will be cancelled and refunded.
Posted separately on X (Previously Known as twitter) Ubisoft acknowledged the delay "will come as disappointing news," but said "we sincerely believe this is in the best interest of the game, and ultimately your experience as a player."
