Ubisoft has rescheduled the launch of its highly anticipated title, Assassin’s Creed Shadows, several times, which is now set for March 18, 2025. The technical difficulties that accompanied previous launches, such as that of Star Wars Outlaws, have led the company to adopt a more cautious approach. The developers assure that the game is “practically done and finished,” which aims to minimize the possibility of further delays.
The Assassin’s Creed fan community has shown palpable enthusiasm for this new installment, especially after the success of Assassin’s Creed Valhalla and the celebration that was Mirage, based on what was originally going to be a DLC. However, the shadow of the mistakes made by Ubisoft in the past has generated some anxiety. The recent failures, including the aforementioned failed launch of Star Wars Outlaws, have left a mark on their reputation, increasing the pressure on Assassin’s Creed Shadows.
Although it is possible, it does not seem that it will happen
With the launch scheduled just a month away, the possibility of a new delay has drastically reduced. As the date approaches, marketing campaigns begin to activate, and changing the date at this point could be disastrous for bookings and the company’s image. Despite rumors of internal nervousness at Ubisoft, sources close to the matter claim that preparations are progressing smoothly, suggesting that, in principle, there should be no further delays.
Ubisoft is determined to avoid repeating the mistakes of the past, seeking to launch Assassin’s Creed Shadows in optimal conditions and without technical issues. The company hopes that this meticulous approach will help them not only avoid negative noise, but also ensure a solid commercial performance at launch, allowing players to enjoy the experience with the latest graphic technology.
