Paris, France – Ubisoft has made a significant announcement today regarding their upcoming game, “Assassin’s Creed Shadows.” The highly anticipated entry in the franchise, set in feudal Japan, will now be delayed from its original release date of February 14th to March 20th. This decision is part of Ubisoft’s commitment to focusing on gameplay quality and providing players with engaging Day-1 experiences.

According to a press release from Ubisoft, the decision to delay the game was made to allow the development team more time to incorporate player feedback gathered over the past three months. By taking an additional month to refine the game, Ubisoft aims to create the best possible conditions for the launch of “Assassin’s Creed Shadows” and to continue engaging closely with the game’s community.

This delay marks the second time that the release of “Assassin’s Creed Shadows” has been pushed back, as the game was originally scheduled to launch on November 15th. In addition to the delay, Ubisoft has announced that it has appointed leading advisors to explore various strategic and financial options in order to maximize value for its stakeholders. The company has stated that it will provide further updates to the market in accordance with relevant regulations once a transaction materializes.

Recent challenges have plagued Ubisoft, as evidenced by the underwhelming sales of “Star Wars Outlaws” and the decision to shut down the live-service shooter, “XDefiant.” These setbacks have prompted Ubisoft to reevaluate its strategies and make necessary adjustments to ensure the success of its upcoming projects, including “Assassin’s Creed Shadows.” With a renewed focus on quality and player feedback, Ubisoft is striving to deliver a top-notch gaming experience for fans of the franchise.
