Ubisoft is confident it will avoid further delaying the launch of Assassin’s Creed Shadows

Ubisoft is confident that it will be able to release Assassin’s Creed Shadows on a new date – February 14, 2025. The game was originally due out this November, but its release was recently pushed back to ensure a higher quality product at launch.

Reasons for the postponement and confidence in the release

According to Ubisoft CFO Frederic Duguet, the postponement allowed the game to be brought to a perfect state as it was nearing completion. Ubisoft intends to avoid mistakes like those that affected the commercial performance of Star Wars Outlaws due to insufficient finalization. It is noted that the company has allocated an additional €20 million (about $21.7 million) to optimize the game.

Sales model changes and pre-order bonuses

Ubisoft has also dropped the traditional season pass for Assassin’s Creed Shadows. In return, those who pre-ordered will get the first add-on for free. The change is part of the company’s strategy to make the game more appealing to players and improve their experience from day one.

Competing with Ghost of Yōtei

Sony’s Ghost of Yōtei game, also based on historical events in Japan, will launch in 2025, which has raised questions about the competitiveness of Assassin’s Creed Shadows. However, Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot expressed confidence in the potential of both projects, noting that there is always a place in the market for quality games.
