Get ready for a closer look at Assassin's Creed Shadows! Ubisoft will host a livestream showcasing the game's captivating feudal Japan setting. Viewers will witness protagonists Naoe and Yasuke in action, tackling quests, exploring Harima Province, and confronting formidable foes. The developers will also participate in a Q&A session, offering insights into their vision for this latest installment.

Originally slated for a March 20, 2025 release on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S, Assassin's Creed Shadows transports players to a world of samurai conflict and political intrigue. However, a delay has been announced.

Renowned industry insider Tom Henderson sheds light on the postponement, citing the need to correct historical and cultural inaccuracies, along with essential polish. While rumors of Yasuke's character being removed proved unfounded, Ubisoft will be refining certain aspects of his storyline.

Henderson attributes the setbacks to several factors, including the late integration of historical consultants and internal communication challenges. Furthermore, the game's technical readiness remains a concern. While bug fixes are underway, more substantial gameplay adjustments will require additional time. Despite the delay, Henderson's sources suggest a Valentine's Day release (February 14th) is now the target, implying sufficient time for completion.
