Assassin’s Creed Shadows Delayed Once Again
Ubisoft has announced that it has once again postponed the release date of its highly anticipated game Assassin’s Creed Shadows. Previously scheduled for February 14, 2025, the game has been postponed to March 20, 2025 in order to better evaluate player feedback and improve quality in the development process. The company stated that this decision is part of its goal to “provide the best experience for players.” This postponement comes at a time when Ubisoft is undergoing a radical structural transformation process.
Ubisoft’s Transformation Process and Assassin’s Creed Shadows
Ubisoft is making significant changes not only to Assassin’s Creed Shadows but also to its overall business strategy. The company aims to reduce its fixed costs by 200 million euros by the 2025-26 fiscal year. In addition, it announced that it will take a more “selective” approach to investment decisions and increase operational efficiency.
Another reason for the delay of Assassin’s Creed Shadows is that some of Ubisoft’s games have recently failed to meet expectations. For example, the poor sales performance of Star Wars Outlaws has led the company to adopt a more careful launch strategy for new games. “We need this additional time to better integrate player feedback and deliver a strong launch,” said Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot.
Although the delay of Assassin’s Creed Shadows has been disappointing for some fans, it is also considered a positive message in terms of showing Ubisoft’s importance to quality. The company emphasizes that it values player feedback during the game’s development process and aims to provide a better experience in line with this.
These steps taken by Ubisoft will be decisive not only for Assassin’s Creed Shadows, but also for the future of the company’s overall business strategy. Players expect Assassin’s Creed Shadows, which will be released on March 20, to be one of the most ambitious games in the series.
