The upcoming Assassin's Creed Shadows livestream will showcase protagonists Naoe and Yasuke tackling quests, exploring Harima Province, and battling formidable foes. Developers will demonstrate gameplay and answer viewer questions, offering insight into their approach to this latest installment.
Set in feudal Japan, Assassin's Creed Shadows immerses players in a world of samurai conflict and intrigue. Initially slated for a March 20, 2025 release on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S, the game has been delayed.
Insider Tom Henderson sheds light on the postponement, citing the need to correct historical and cultural inaccuracies and further refine the game. While rumors of Yasuke's removal circulated, Henderson clarifies that his narrative will be adjusted, not eliminated.
The delay stems from several factors, including the late integration of historical experts and internal communication issues. Technically, the game isn't ready for launch; developers are addressing bugs and refining gameplay mechanics, with the latter requiring more extensive work. However, Henderson's sources suggest a Valentine's Day release (February 14th) remains a possibility, given the developers' timeframe.
