Ubisoft will unveil two hours of gameplay from Assassin's Creed Shadows tomorrow

Get ready for a deep dive into Assassin's Creed Shadows! This upcoming installment transports players to feudal Japan, placing them amidst the thrilling conflicts and political intrigue of the samurai era. The stream will showcase Naoe and Yasuke in action, tackling quests and exploring the vibrant Harima Province while facing formidable adversaries. Developers will be on hand to answer viewer questions, offering insight into their creative process and vision for this new chapter.

Originally slated for a March 20, 2025 release on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S, Assassin's Creed Shadows has been pushed back. Renowned insider Tom Henderson sheds light on the delay, citing the need to rectify historical and cultural inaccuracies and further refine the game's overall polish. While rumors of Yasuke's character being removed proved unfounded, Ubisoft will be making adjustments to his storyline.

Henderson attributes the setbacks to several factors, including the late integration of historical consultants and internal communication challenges. From a technical standpoint, the game isn't yet polished enough for launch. Currently, developers are actively addressing bugs and refining gameplay mechanics, although the latter is expected to require more time. However, Henderson's sources are confident that a Valentine's Day release (February 14th) is achievable, given the remaining development time.
