It was originally supposed to be released on November 12 Shadows of Assassin's Creed game, but Ubisoft decided to postpone it for three months, and only next year, on February 14 to be precise, the last installment of the famous franchise will be sent to store shelves. This is the Assassin's Creed that the community has been clamoring for, as players have been begging the publisher for many years that it's time for a sequel that takes us to feudal Japan. Ubisoft was clearly on the fence when it saw Sucker Punch; Ghost of Tsushimawhich will get a sequel in 2025, but it is also possible to expect films, series and spin-offs from it. At the same time, this latest development may add another jolt to the ship of the French players' company, which already has (to put it mildly) mixed opinions.
“Although Shadows is already ready, Star Wars Outlaws Learning from our experiences post-release, we decided we still needed time to improve it in the new Assassin's Creed. All of this allows the franchise's largest volume to date to live up to expectations, being primarily a fun adventure focused on two heroes, after all, Naoe and Yasuke will offer completely different gameplay.” – Readable In a statement issued by Ubisoft.
the Star Wars Outlawsas in a variety Reminds me So far, it has performed below expectations, and the French publisher's situation is exacerbated by the fact that it is also weak in terms of earnings in the current quarter. It seems that the company cannot afford another failure.
Assassin's Creed Shadows will also be arriving on Steam on its release day, which is a welcome development compared to the fact that this didn't happen for the PC version of Star Wars Outlaws, which isn't typical for other Ubisoft games either.
The new AC game didn't get away without scandal, as one of the game's protagonists, Yasuke, has been hot for a while, and it's also possible that there are players boycotting Shadows because of the character. There are a lot of people wondering whether the character who lived in the 16th century can really be considered a black samurai, or whether Ubisoft is falsifying history with its new video game, violating Japanese culture that is considered completely static. In this regard, we previously wrote an article about this matter The position of historians.
It's a fact that Assassin's Creed Shadows will be a game-changer for the series not only because the story is set in feudal Japan for the first time, but also because it focused entirely on fictional heroes, and it will be the first time that the existing character, Yasuke, can be seen and, of course, controlled in action. .
Shadows will be released on February 14, 2025, and hopefully by then the game will debut on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series
