Ubisoft has announced another delay to Assassin’s Creed Shadows. Previously set for February 14th, it’s now launching on March 20th for Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PC via the Ubisoft Store, Steam, and Epic Games Store. This comes in the wake of Ubisoft’s promise that the open-world action RPG wouldn’t be delayed again.
Franchise executive producer Marc-Alexis Cote recently said on Twitter, “While we’ve already made remarkable strides, we believe a few additional weeks are needed to implement that feedback and ensure an even more ambitious and engaging day-one experience.” While ensuring “ongoing dialogue between our players and development teams,” Cote said more updates will be coming “very soon.”
Assassin’s Creed Shadows was first planned to launch on November 15th. While touted as “feature complete,” the underwhelming performance of Star Wars Outlaws prompted a delay to ensure more polish. Ubisoft also announced a day-one release on Steam, the cancellation of advanced access, and the removal of the Season Pass model. Instead, all pre-orders would receive the first expansion for free.
