Assassin’s Creed Shadows: everything we know so far

The two heroes of Assassin's Creed Shadows stand side by side.

We've been asking for it ever since the series debut, and now we're finally getting an Assassin's Creed game set in Feudal Japan. Previously known by the code name Assassin's Creed Red, Assassin's Creed Shadows will be the latest entry in the long-running Assassin's saga. Ubisoft let us know we would be getting the world premiere trailer first, but it turns out there was a lot more to show than just a first glimpse at the game. We've managed to gather all the footage and information shared online to deliver you the goods about Assassin's Creed Shadows.
Release date

Assassin's Creed Shadows was intended to launch on November 15, 2024, however, it got hit with a delay in September. The game will now come out three months later on February 14, 2025 -- just in time for Valentine's Day.

Assassin’s Creed Shadows delayed into 2025 as Ubisoft overhauls launch plans

Ubisoft is making some big, last-minute changes. The next game in the Assassin's Creed franchise has been pushed into next year, according to a statement the company published Wednesday, due in part to the lower-than-expected performance of Star Wars Outlaws.

Assassin's Creed Shadows, which is set in feudal Japan and has two playable protagonists, has been delayed from November 15, 2024, to February 14, 2025, to give the developers more time to "polish and refine the experience."

Kotaku's Ethan Gach reports that game director Ryan Ellis told staff last week that he would be stepping down from the role and moving into a more support position, according to multiple sources.
