Get ready for a Valentine’s Day treat, but not the kind you’d expect! Ubisoft has officially announced that *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*, their upcoming action-platformer set in Feudal Japan, will be delayed to February 14, 2025. While the game has been generating buzz (and some controversy), the delay is attributed to the desire for more polish and refinement. The extra three months will allow the development team to fine-tune the gameplay experience for a smoother and more enjoyable launch.
This delay also coincides with Ubisoft’s recent decision to cancel all press demos for *AC Shadows* at the Tokyo Game Show. The publisher is clearly taking a strategic approach to ensure the game meets their high standards.
In a surprising move, Ubisoft is also shaking up their traditional season pass model for *AC Shadows*. Instead of charging for additional content, players who pre-order the game will receive the first expansion for free! This generous gesture is likely a response to the recent controversy surrounding the game, aiming to entice potential buyers and regain trust.
The delay might be a disappointment for fans eagerly awaiting the game’s release, but the added polish and free expansion offer a silver lining. As we wait for *AC Shadows* to finally arrive, keep an eye out for further updates and gameplay reveals that will surely be coming in the months ahead.
