The leaked art showcases concept designs for historical figures, major cities, and weaponry, hinting at potential story spoilers. While authenticity remains unconfirmed until the game's release, the images appear genuine.

The leak comes shortly before Assassin's Creed Shadows' revised launch date of March 20, 2025, following a delay from its initial 2024 release window. Game director Charles Benoit recently explained that the delay primarily focused on polishing the game, with minor adjustments to progression and balancing. A key focus was refining the parkour system, which presented unique challenges due to the complexity of Feudal Japan's architecture. Benoit highlighted the intricate roof designs as particularly demanding, requiring specialized coding and animations to maintain fluidity.
