Assassin's Creed Shadows delayed to March 20

Following this week's gameplay overview for parkour in Assassin's Creed Shadows, Ubisoft has announced another delay for the game with it now set to launch on March 20. 

This delay is a part of a larger Strategic Update from the publisher aiming to have community feedback implemented and deliver a more ambitious and engaging experience for Assassin's Creed Shadows on day one.

Assassin's Creed Shadows is now set to release on March 20 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC (Steam, Epic, Ubisoft).

The full statement from Ubisoft is below:

Dear players,

We want to extend our heartfelt thanks to our incredible fans and dedicated teams for your unwavering support since our announcement in September to further refine and polish

Assassin's Creed Shadows.

Since November, we've been thrilled to share our progress through Gameplay Overviews, and the overwhelming excitement has truly inspired us. Each week has brought valuable feedback from our community. While we've already made remarkable strides, we believe a few additional weeks are needed to implement that feedback and ensure an even more ambitious and engaging day-one experience.

Accordingly, the new release date is March 20, 2025. We remain committed to delivering a high-quality, immersive experience-fostered by ongoing dialogue between our players and development teams.

We know you're eager to learn more about Assassin's Creed Shadows, and we're excited to share that more updates will be coming your way very soon!

Marc-Alexis Coté

on behalf of all teams working on Assassin's Creed Shadows
