Ubisoft Unveils 2-Hour Assassin's Creed Shadows Preview

During the livestream, viewers will witness protagonists Naoe and Yasuke embark on quests, traverse Harima Province, and battle formidable foes. Beyond showcasing gameplay, developers will address audience questions to offer insight into their creative vision for this new series installment.

Assassin's Creed Shadows transports players to feudal Japan, immersing them in a world of political intrigue and samurai conflicts. The game launches March 20, 2025, for PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X|S platforms.

Renowned insider Tom Henderson has shared additional details regarding Shadows' 2025 delay and its broader context. The postponement allows for correcting historical inaccuracies and refining cultural representation alongside technical improvements. Contrary to circulating rumors, Yasuke remains a key character though Ubisoft plans narrative adjustments.

Several factors contributed to Shadow's development challenges. Historical consultants joined the project relatively late, and significant communication gaps existed within the development team.

Technically, the game still requires additional polish. Developers are currently addressing bugs while implementing gameplay modifications - though these system changes demand more extensive implementation time. Henderson's sources confident the February 14 release window remains achievable given the current development progress.
