Ubisoft officially announced in the early hours of this morning that it has postponed the release of "Assassin's Creed: Shadows" from November 15 this year to February 14, 2025, and will also be launched on the Steam platform at the same time. Players who pre-ordered will be refunded, and all future pre-orders will receive the first expansion pack for free. In addition, Ubisoft has also said that they will abandon the traditional season pass model.
Ubisoft Announcement Translation:
Dear Players,
Assassin's Creed: Shadow is a dream project for us; We have finally brought this series to feudal Japan and combined many features that have been carefully designed for the player community, such as parkour or stealth gameplay improved through new technologies, all set in a beautiful and immersive world.
It's an ambitious addition to the series, a rich adventure that can be experienced through the perspectives of two unique protagonists – but we realized we needed more time to polish and refine the experience, further boosting some of our key features.
As a result, we have decided to postpone the release date to February 14, 2025. The game will be released on multiple platforms, including Steam. In addition, pre-orders will be refunded, and all future pre-orders will receive the first expansion pack for free.
We understand that this decision will be disappointing for some players, especially those who have been patiently waiting for the feudal Japan-inspired Assassin's Creed game, but we sincerely believe that it is in the best interest of the game and, ultimately, for your experience as a player.
Rest assured, we look forward to leading you on an unforgettable adventure with Naoe and Yasuke.
Until then, thank you for your continued support.
