Ubisoft has delayed Assassin's Creed Shadows by three months.
The open-world adventure game was due out November 12, 2024. It now launches February 14, 2025.
In a statement, Ubisoft said it needs more time "to polish and refine the experience, pushing further some of our key features."
Meanwhile, Ubisoft confirmed that Assassin's Creed Shadows will release on Steam, unlike the company's previous major release, Star Wars Outlaws. Preorders will be refunded, and all future preorders will be granted the first expansion for free.
In a note to the investment community, Ubisoft said that while Assassin's Creed Shadows was "feature complete", the "learnings" from the release of Star Wars Outlaws "led us to provide additional time to further polish the title." Star Wars Outlaws had a "softer than expected launch," Ubisoft said.
"This will enable the biggest entry in the franchise to fully deliver on its ambition, notably by fulfilling the promise of our dual protagonist adventure, with Naoe and Yasuke bringing two very different gameplay
styles," Ubisoft contined.
