Assassin’s Creed Shadows has been delayed again, as part of a “strategic update” that will see it “review and pursue various transformational strategic and capitalistic options to extract the best value for stakeholders.”
“As part of the renewed focus on gameplay quality and engaging day-one experiences, it has been decided to provide an additional month of development to Assassin’s Creed Shadows,” Ubisoft said in a statement.
“This additional time will allow the team to better incorporate the player feedback gathered over the past three months and help create the best conditions for launch by continuing to engage closely with the increasingly positive Assassin’s Creed community. The game is now scheduled for March 20.”
“We are all behind our teams’ efforts to create the most ambitious Assassin’s Creed opus of the franchise and made the decision to provide an extra month of development to Shadows in order to better incorporate the player feedback gathered over the past three months that will enable us to fully deliver on the potential of the game and finish the year on a strong note,” Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot said.
Assassin’s Creed Shadows was originally slated for release on November 15, 2024, but was delayed in September “to provide additional time to further polish the title.”
