Bad news came today for Assassin’s Creed Shadows, which will take place in Japan. Unfortunately, the game has been delayed to February 14, 2025.
The highly anticipated Assassin’s Creed Shadows will be released on February 14, 2025, not November 15, 2024. The company’s statement on this matter reads as follows: transferred: “Dear players, Assassin’s Creed Shadows is a dream project for us. It finally brings the series to Feudal Japan with many features developed with our community in mind, such as parkour or renewed stealth thanks to new technologies, all set in a stunning and immersive world. This project will be an ambitious addition to the series, offering a rich experience through the eyes of two unique heroes. However, we realize that we need more time to polish and improve this experience and will be pushing some key features even further, so we have decided to push the release date to February 14, 2025. The game will be available on a wide range of platforms at launch, including Steam. Additionally, existing pre-orders will be refunded and all future pre-orders will receive the first expansion pack for free.

We realize that this decision will be a disappointment to those who have been patiently waiting for an Assassin’s Creed game, especially one inspired by Feudal Japan, but we truly believe that it is in the best interest of the game and ultimately your experience as a player. Rest assured that we are eagerly awaiting your unforgettable adventure with Naoe and Yasuke. Until then, thank you for your continued support. On behalf of Marc-Alexis Cöté and all the teams working on Assassin’s Creed Shadows.” Meanwhile, the company announced today that its games will be on Steam from day one. In addition, due to the bad situations, the Ubisoft board of directors announced that it will launch an internal investigation.
The following brief description of the production is given: “In Assassin’s Creed Shadows, you will witness the intersecting stories of Naoe, a master Shinobi Assassin from the Iga province, and Yasuke, a legendary African samurai with his power. Fighting in the shadow of the turbulent late Sengoku period, these two ambitious warriors will discover their common destiny together as they open the doors to a new era for Japan. From chaos to stability, from darkness to light… The new Creed sun is rising in Japan.”
