Originally due out in two months, Ubisoft has decided to delay Assassin's Creed Shadows. Part of the reason for the delay is because of player feedback from Ubisoft's other recent release, Star Wars Outlaws, which garnered lots of negative reception for overly difficult stealth sections, which Ubisoft's Massive Entertainment has been tasked with patching post-launch. The company is hoping that the extra time to polish the game will make for a better overall game, and will lead to better sales, as their recent output has been disappointing, commercially, according to a recent financial report. Assassin's Creed Shadows is now due out on February 14th.

They're gonna delay it one more time, trust me.

Is that a tumbleweed rolling across the thread.....

 

[linuxares]

So anyway... how about that other Samurai game?

 

[Marc_LFD]

Just include a Japanese male samurai in this game set in Japan, that's all.

But now with Ghost of Yōtei the competition will be tough. And oh, Rise of Rōnin also exists, but no one seems to care about that game even when it launched.

Makes sense. They didn't want to have another failure in 2024.

Makes sense. They didn't want to have another failure in 2024.

So save it to fail in 2025.

 

[Windaga]

Aww, that's a shame. I'm doing a circuit in Tokyo in November, and I was hoping to catch some cool promotional material.

Now I'll just have to settle for Brothership promo material. Which is awesome, but still.

 

[KingVamp]

Looking to be packed next year.

 

[Purple_Shyguy]

Ubisoft will die in our lifetime

 

[Jayinem]

I kept forgetting it even exists, after beating most of them until the last few that came out. I think I'm AC'd out.

 

[loveShmups]

Oh my .. Ubisoft used to be....
But with Ghost of Yotei coming in 2025.. There will be blood on the wall in Ubisoft 's corp !!

 

[Viri]

Do they expect Black History month to save their open world slop game?

 

[digipimp75]

So save it to fail in 2025.

Exactly. They already filled the yearly quota

 

[LightBeam]

I wish they would delay it indefinitely

If I remember correctly, the gameplay for this one is more similar to the older Assassin's Creed games, not another open-world game with some stealth elements thrown in. If this is indeed the case then the delay is disappointing and I hope they don't overcorrect any stealth sections making them almost optional like in Assassin's Creed: Valhalla.

Wait Feb... New Yakuza, Civ 7, Avowed and Kingdom Deliverance 2.

Edit: oh and Monster Hunter... That little franchise

They will push it again.

 

[ZeroT21]

Still plenty of games coming out without specifically requiring a PS5 Pro, so there's that

Kingdom Deliverance 2

Hopefully his video game crushes Assassin Creed. I loved the first game.

Also, just for the hell of it.
