Ubisoft said Thursday it would take decisive steps to reshape itself as the French video game publisher announced it would delay the release of the latest title in its top "Assassin's Creed" franchise.

Yesterday, Assassin's Creed Shadows was delayed again to March 2025, and it's unlikely that this ongoing uncertainty around Ubisoft is helping development matters. In a new press release that arrived alongside the delay, the Assassin's Creed maker has once again mentioned that it's looking for extra investment in the company as it heads into 2025.

Assassin's Creed Shadows is introducing a wealth of new parkour features, and they all go hand in hand with the game's overarching premise.

Most wouldn't describe anything over a month long as "a few weeks", but regardless: Assassin's Creed Shadows' release date is now March 20th, 2025. This official statement appeals to player sentiment, but several people have spotted other reasons behind the delay, including a possible Tencent buyout.

Ubisoft’s upcoming title, Assassins Creed Shadows, that was set to release in February 2025, has been delayed again and now scheduled for a late first-quarter release in March. This Assassins Creed Shadows delay isn’t the first.

Ubisoft pulls back the curtain on some of the parkour changes being made in Assassin's Creed Shadows, which is due to release next month.
