Assassin’s Creed Shadows delayed for a second time

Assassin’s Creed Shadows has been delayed again, so it looks like we’ll be waiting a little longer before we can start assassinating those Assassin’s Creed Shadows achievements. Ubisoft says it is delaying Shadows to March 20, 2025, which gives you a few more weeks to work through all the Assassin’s Creed games in order.

Ubisoft has delayed Assassin’s Creed Shadows again

• Ubisoft has delayed Assassin’s Creed Shadows to March 20, 2025
• The developer says it needs a “few additional weeks” to ensure a “more ambitious and engaging day-one experience”
• This is Assassin’s Creed Shadow’s second delay

Originally, Assassin’s Creed Shadows was supposed to launch on November 15, 2024, but Ubisoft pushed the game’s release date back to February 14, 2025. Now, the developer has delayed Assassin’s Creed Shadows for a second time. “Since November, we’ve been thrilled to share our progress through gameplay overviews, and the overwhelming excitement has truly inspired us,” reads a statement from Ubisoft. “Each week has brought valuable feedback from our community. 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.

“Accordingly, the new release date is March 20, 2025. We remain committed to delivering a high-quality immersive experience — fostered by ongoing dialogue between our players and development teams.”

Over the past few weeks, Ubisoft has been diving deep into various aspects of Assassin’s Creed Shadows, and it looked to be shaping up well, so it’s surprising to see Shadows catch another delay.
