What This Means Going Forward

To this point, Assassin's Creed Shadows has been delayed n𒊎ot once but twice, going from November 2024 to finally settling for March of this year. Following the underperformance of Star Wars Outlaws, Ubisoft elected to push back S⛎hadows in an effort to avoid another disappointment. In other words, a lot is riding on this title.

Ahead of its March launch, it was reported that the preorder numbers were largely in line with Odys🦩sey, the second-mo⛦st successful game in the franchise. Of course, leaks of any kind are detrimental, and while Ubisoft has ensured that whatever is being shared won't represent the final game's quality due to in-the-works patches, not much else can be done for things from a story element. Should those leaks continue to filter out, then there's no telling how damaging it couldꦬ be for a game whose success is seemingly tied to Ubi🍰soft's long-term future.
