Ubisoft haben per Nachricht an ihre Investoren mitgeteilt, dass sich Assassin's Creed Shadows auf den 14. Februar 2025 verschoben wird. Ursprünglich sollte das Spiel am 12. November 2024 erscheinen.
Auch wird der Season-Pass komplett vom Spiel entfernt. Alle beginnen das Spiel am 14. Februar 2024. Ein Add-on soll es aber weiterhin geben. Vorbesteller erhalten das erste Add-on kostenfrei.
Ab sofort werden Ubisoft ihre Spiele von Anfang an auf Steam veröffentlichen. Den Anfang macht Assassin's Creed Shadows.
All diese Änderungen kommen aufgrund der schlechten Ergebnisse von Star Wars Outlaws. Die Erfahrungen wollen Ubisoft mitnehmen und ein besseres, spielerorientiertes Erlebnis bieten.
Aus der Mitteilung in Ubisofts Worte:
Listening to players' feedback, and as an illustration of our player-centric approach, the following important decisions relative to Assassin's Creed Shadows have been taken:
- Assassin's Creed Shadows will now be released on 14 February 2025. While the game is feature complete, the learnings from the Star Wars Outlaws release led us to provide additional time to further polish the title. This will enable the biggest entry in the franchise to fully deliver on its ambition, notably by fulfilling the promise of our dual protagonist adventure, with Naoe and Yasuke bringing two very different gameplay styles.
- We are departing from the traditional Season Pass model. All players will be able to enjoy the game at the same time on February 14 and those who preorder the game will be granted the first expansion for free.
- The game will mark the return of our new releases on Steam Day 1.
