Get ready for a closer look at Assassin's Creed Shadows! Ubisoft will host a livestream showcasing the game's captivating feudal Japan setting. Viewers will witness protagonists Naoe and Yasuke in action, tackling quests, exploring Harima Province, and confronting formidable foes. The developers will also participate in a Q&A session, offering insights into their vision for this latest installment.
Assassin's Creed Shadows transports players to a world of samurai conflict and political intrigue in 16th-century Japan. Originally slated for a March 20, 2025 release on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S, the game has been delayed.
Industry insider Tom Henderson sheds light on the postponement, citing the need to correct historical and cultural inaccuracies and further refine the game's overall polish. While rumors circulated about Yasuke's character arc being significantly altered, Henderson clarifies that while adjustments will be made to his narrative, he will remain a key part of the game.
Henderson attributes the delays to several factors, including the late integration of historical consultants and internal communication challenges within the development team. From a technical standpoint, the game requires additional work on bug fixes and gameplay adjustments, with the latter expected to take more time to implement. However, Henderson's sources suggest a revised release date of February 14, 2025, indicating sufficient time for the developers to finalize the game.
