Ubisoft has just announced that the release date of Assassin's Creed: Shadows has been pushed back from its latest release date of February 14th to March 20th, 2025. Therefore, you have to wait longer to see the beautiful clouds over feudal Japan.
According to Bloomberg's Jason Schreier, this is because the company is exploring potential sale options, or in Ubisoft's words, pursuing “a variety of transformation strategies and capital options to capture the greatest value for stakeholders,” which is absolutely empty talk.

In a statement posted on social media, Ubisoft's Marc Alexis-Cote wrote: “Since November, we've been excited to share our progress through the game overview, This huge excitement really motivates us,” and while we've made significant progress, we feel it will take a few more weeks to implement feedback and ensure a more ambitious and engaging day one experience. “
“As a result, the new release date is March 20, 2025. We remain committed to delivering a high-quality immersive experience – facilitated by ongoing dialogue between our players and the development team.” The developers added, “More “More updates” will be coming “soon.”

As mentioned, this date change comes in the context of Ubisoft appearing to be considering a sale option, following the news that Shadows was reportedly pushed back from its fall 2024 window to a February date last September . If you recall, late last year there were reports that Tencent was considering acquiring AC Developers.
Schreier quoted CEO Yves Guillemot saying in a call with investors today in response to a question about Ubisoft's future that “there are several potential avenues to move forward from Ubisoft's assets and value is created in the franchise,” and company leadership will “inform the market when and if” the deal materializes. “
