Stop us if you’ve heard this one before: Assassin’s Creed Shadows is delayed. Fans that were expecting to dig into the AC franchise’s first foray into Japan will have to wait a bit longer.
This is the second delay to the game since last fall, when it was originally supposed to launch. That delay extended the waiting period to February, but the new release date for the game is now set for March 20. In an announcement post, Ubisoft said that the studio “believed a few additional weeks are needed to implement [community] feedback and ensure an even more ambitious and engaging day-one experience.”
That translates to a delay of about a month from the Feb. 14 date that the game was given when it was originally delayed last year. It’s not a terribly long time to wait, in the grand scheme of things, but the repeated delays do have many fans nervous about the state Shadows will release in.
This is a breaking story. More information will be added as it becomes available.
