The upcoming Assassin's Creed Shadows stream will showcase Naoe and Yasuke tackling quests, exploring Harima Province, and battling formidable foes. Developers will also answer viewer questions, offering insights 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 polish the game. While rumors of Yasuke's removal circulated, Henderson clarifies that his role will be adjusted, not eliminated.
Development challenges included the late integration of historical consultants and internal communication issues. Technically, the game isn't ready for launch, requiring further bug fixes and gameplay refinements. However, Henderson's sources suggest a February 14th, 2025 release is now feasible, given the remaining development time.
