The release of Assassin's Creed Shadows 2024 has been cancelled unexpectedly.

Ubisoft, the renowned game developer, recently made a significant announcement regarding their highly anticipated game, Assassin's Creed Shadows. The game, which was set to be released this year, will now be pushed back until 2025. This news has caused quite a stir among fans, as the game has been the subject of controversy since its initial announcement.

One of the main reasons for the delay is the inclusion of a historical figure, Yasuke, who was a former African slave. Some fans expressed their concerns about this character, despite his significant role in history. However, Ubisoft has stated that the delay is not solely due to this controversy, but also because they want to avoid a similar fate as their previous open-world game, Star Wars Outlaws.

Initially scheduled for a November 15 release, it became evident this week that something was amiss when the game was pulled from the Tokyo Game Show and other preview events. The new release date for Assassin's Creed Shadows is now set for February 14, 2025. While the exact changes that Ubisoft plans to make are unclear, they have mentioned that they want to add more polish to the game, using the lessons learned from Outlaws.

Some fans may wonder what changes could be made in such a short amount of time, especially since the game is already "content complete". However, Ubisoft has assured fans that they will not be making any radical changes, such as removing Yasuke from the game. It is speculated that they may focus on improving the stealth aspects of the game, as it is a major feature of the Assassin's Creed franchise.

In addition to changes within the game, Ubisoft has also announced that Assassin's Creed Shadows will be available on Steam upon its release, instead of just their own PC store. They have also decided to forgo their usual season pass model and will instead offer the first expansion to those who pre-order the game.

In a recent financial statement, Ubisoft stated that they need more time to fully deliver on the game's ambitious dual protagonist adventure. They also reiterated their commitment to creating games for a wide audience, without pushing any specific agenda. This statement comes in the midst of various controversies surrounding the company.

Despite the delay, fans are eagerly anticipating the release of Assassin's Creed Shadows, and Ubisoft is determined to deliver a polished and engaging experience for all players. And while this year may not have been the best for the company, they remain dedicated to creating quality games for their fans to enjoy.
