Ubisoft announced today that Assassin’s Creed Shadows will miss its November 12, 2024 release date, launching on February 14, 2025 instead.
Additionally, the game is going to hit Steam on day 1 instead of it being a staggered release on Valve’s platform (Ubisoft games stopped coming out on Steam back in 2019, then came back to the platform in recent years, but never as day 1 launches). The publisher has also confirmed that everyone who preorders the game will receive the game’s first expansion for free, and that they are moving away from “Advanced Access” type releases where the priciest edition allows owners to start playing earlier than everyone else who’s also purchased the title, but chosen a cheaper edition. According to Ubisoft, everyone who buys Assassin’s Creed Shadows will be able to play at the same time, which is a very nice change of pace, considering every publisher seems to be trying to nickel and dime fans over “early access” to their games lately.
