It's not uncommon for AAA games to be delayed these days, and that's especially true of highly controversial titles such as Assassin's Creed Shadows. However, Assassin's Creed Shadows is a bit of a different story than most, as it has faced nearly insurmountable odds against criticism, despite being what would have otherwise simply been the setting and gameplay many Assassin's Creed fans have been dreaming of for quite some time. On account of this criticism, Assassin's Creed Shadows was already delayed once, moving its release date from November 15, 2024 to February 14, 2025, and now it has been delayed once more, with a new release date of March 20, 2025.
