Ubisoft today announced that Assassin’s Creed: Shadows has been postponed from its November release date and will now be released on February 14, 2025.
The company says the game is functionally complete, but has taken what it learned from Star Wars Outlaws to allow for additional time to polish the title and change some of the decisions made regarding its release model. I plan to.
The game will no longer have a traditional season pass model and will be available to all players on February 14th, with players who pre-ordered the game getting free access to the first expansion.
The game was also released on Steam on day one, and this seems to be the case for all Ubisoft games going forward.
Assassin’s Creed Shadows will be released on February 25, 2025. The cheapest copy is $89 with free shipping on Amazon.
