Assassin’s Creed Shadows Release Delayed: What’s Next for Ubisoft?

Assassin’s Creed Shadows Delayed into 2025

Ubisoft has delayed Assassin’s Creed Shadows into 2025. Following a quick cancellation of the Tokyo Game Show previews for the upcoming game, Ubisoft is pushing back its open world title just months before release.

New Release Date for Assassin's Creed Shadows

Originally planned to release on November 15, 2024, the new Assassin’s Creed game will now launch on February 14, 2025.

Following its last minute cancellation at the Tokyo Game Show 2024, the delay announcement was meekly pushed out. The publisher has not provided a reason for the sizable delay, although some are citing performance issues as the cause.

However, with multiple previews already existing over the past year, it seems unlikely that performance is the culprit. Nevertheless, a few extra months of development for additional bug fixing and polish is never a bad thing.

We’ve reached out to Ubisoft for comment on the cause of the game’s delay.

Potential PS5 Pro Support?

With the sizable delay, Assassin’s Creed Shadows could also receive day one support for the upcoming PlayStation 5 Pro. As the list of PS5 Pro enhanced games increases, Ubisoft is likely to support the console in some form.

However, as the game was announced prior to the reveal of the PS5 Pro, there is currently no word on any enhancements. We’ve also reached out to Ubisoft for comment on this matter.

Assassin’s Creed Shadows now releases on February 14, 2025. This title will join two samurai-focused games launching that year, alongside Sucker Punch’s phenomenal looking Ghost of Yotei.
