Ubisoft to Reveal Two Hours of Assassin's Creed Shadows Gameplay Tomorrow

During the upcoming stream, viewers will get an exciting glimpse into the world of Assassin's Creed Shadows, where they'll witness the main characters, Naoe and Yasuke, embark on thrilling quests, explore the vast landscapes of Harima Province, and confront formidable foes. The developers will not only showcase the gameplay but also engage with the audience, answering questions and providing insights into their creative process for this latest installment in the series.

Set against the backdrop of feudal Japan, Assassin's Creed Shadows promises to immerse players in a world filled with intrigue and the clashing of samurai swords. The game is slated for release on March 20, 2025, and will be available on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S.

Renowned insider Tom Henderson has shed light on the reasons behind the game's delay to 2025. According to Henderson, the delay is aimed at rectifying historical and cultural inaccuracies, as well as enhancing the overall polish of the game. Contrary to some rumors, Yasuke will remain a central character, though Ubisoft plans to make adjustments to his storyline to better align with historical accuracy.

The challenges faced by Assassin's Creed Shadows are multifaceted. The involvement of historical experts came relatively late in the development process, and there were significant communication issues within the team. From a technical standpoint, the game is not yet ready for release. The developers are currently focused on fixing bugs and refining gameplay elements, which are expected to take additional time. Despite these hurdles, Henderson's sources are confident that Assassin's Creed Shadows will be ready for its new release date on February 14, providing the team with ample time to finalize the project.
