Ubisoft announced that it has postponed the release date of Assassin’s Creed Shadows by another month. The company focuses on the structural transformation process.
Ubisoft, the highly anticipated Assassin’s Creed Shadows announced that it has postponed the release date of the game once again. The game, which was previously planned to be released on February 14, 2025, was postponed to March 20, 2025 in order to better evaluate player feedback and improve the quality during the development process. The company stated that this decision was part of its goal of “providing the best experience for players”. This postponement coincides with a period when Ubisoft is going through a radical structural transformation process.
Ubisoft’s Transformation Process and Assassin’s Creed Shadows
Ubisoft is making significant changes not only to Assassin’s Creed Shadows but also to its overall business strategy. The company aims to reduce its fixed costs by €200 million by the 2025-26 financial year. In addition, he announced that they will take a more “selective” approach in investment decisions and increase operational efficiency.
Another reason why Assassin’s Creed Shadows was postponed is that some of Ubisoft’s games have not been able to deliver what was expected recently. For example, the poor sales performance of Star Wars Outlaws led the company to adopt a more cautious launch strategy for new games. “We need this additional time to better integrate player feedback and deliver a strong launch,” said Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot.
Although the postponement of Assassin’s Creed Shadows is disappointing among some fans, it is also considered a positive message in terms of showing the importance Ubisoft attaches to quality. The company emphasizes that it attaches importance to player feedback during the development process of the game and aims to provide a better experience accordingly.
These steps taken by Ubisoft will be decisive not only for Assassin’s Creed Shadows, but also for the future of the company’s overall business strategy. Players expect Assassin’s Creed Shadows, which will be released on March 20, to be one of the most ambitious games in the series.
