Summary

Amid a tumultuous time at Ubisoft, the latest instalment in the studio's flagship series, Assassin's Creed, has also had a dramatic development cycle. Originally set for release in November of last year, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Assassin's Creed Shadows has already been delayed twice.
According to sources familiar to , Ubisoft is confident that Assassin's Creed Shadows will be released on March 20. This development could be important for Ubisoft's financial future, as March 20 falls before the end of the financi🌜al year 2024. As the founding Guillemot family and their backers Tencent are searching for a buyer to take the company private, a stronger final quarter spurred on by the successful launch of Assꦆassin's Creed Shadows could prove advantageous.
Third Time's the Charm
Ubisoft has described the number of pre-orders for Assassin's Creed Shadows as "168澳洲幸运5开奖网:in line w🍸ith those of As♎sassin's Creed Odyssey," the second most successful game in the series (after Valhalla). According to Insider Gaming's re🍃port, Shadows has over 300,000 pre-orders.
Following the high-profཧile underperformance of Star Wars Outlaws, Ubisoft is hoping for a strong commercial return from Assassin's Creed Shadows. Outlaws' lack of polish and unpopular stealth mechanics are likely partially responsible for how careful Ubisoft is being with the release of Assassin's Creed Shadows. The most recent delay occurred to allow the team more time to 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:adjust the game's parkour mechanics, according to game director Charles Benoit.
The parkour in Assassin's Creed Shadows has been a particularly difficult task for the development team to perfect because of the complexity of Japanese architecღture. In an interview with , Benoit revealed they needed "superfluid animations" on account of the architectural style of feudal Japan, a more difficult task than the team faced during the development of Valhalla and Odyssey.
A strong pre-order base isn't necessarily a guarantee of success, but it does feel like a prerequisite 𒊎for success in the triple-A scene. Ubisoft will be hoping fo🌞r a strong critical performance that drives additional day-one sales.
