The open-world RPG was set to be one of this fall's big blockbusters
Assassin’s Creed Shadows was supposed to be one of the biggest games of the fall. It will now come out on February 14, 2025 instead. Publisher Ubisoft blamed the delay on “soft” sales from Star Wars Outlaws, and said it would be using “learnings” from that game in order to improve the latest Assassin’s Creed game ahead of its new release date.
In addition, anyone who pre-orders the game will get the first seasonal expansion for free rather than needing to purchase a separate upgrade to access it. Rumblings of a potential delay began earlier this week when Ubisoft suddenly and unexpectedly pulled out of its planned Tokyo Game Show livestream. Then Insider Gaming reported that hands-on previews for the game had also been cancelled. Ubisoft’s stock hit a 10-year low this month as it searches for its next hit blockbuster.
