Ubisoft Delays Assassin's Creed Shadows and Changes Season Pass Strategy
Assassin's Creed Shadows Delayed
Ubisoft has announced that Assassin's Creed Shadows, originally set for release on November 15, 2024, has been delayed to February 14, 2025. Despite being in a feature complete state, the delay arises from player feedback and the underwhelming reception of Star Wars Outlaws. Ubisoft aims to utilize this additional time to further refine the title and ensure it meets the franchise's high standards.
Season Pass Model Dropped
In another significant change, Ubisoft has decided to drop the traditional season pass model for Assassin's Creed Shadows. The company acknowledged the backlash from players regarding early access to additional content and pledged that all players will have access to the game in its entirety upon launch. Those who preorder will receive the first expansion at no extra charge.
Gameplay and Platforms
Assassin's Creed Shadows will launch on multiple platforms including PC, PS5, and Xbox Series S/X. Additionally, it will be available on Steam, along with Ubisoft Connect and the Epic Games Store, ensuring that players can immerse themselves fully in a game that features dual protagonists’ contrasting gameplay styles.
