Assassin’s Creed Shadows has been surrounded by controversy since its reveal, and the latest move from Ubisoft has only added fuel to the fire. The game’s release date was recently announced as March 20, coincidentally falling on the 30-year anniversary of a deadly sarin attack in Tokyo that killed 14 people and injured over 5,800 others.
The delay has sparked outrage among gamers, with many expressing their discontent on social media platforms such as X. The game’s setting in Japan has already been contentious, particularly with Japanese gamers since its reveal. While the release date is likely to be pushed back further, Ubisoft has refused to comment on the matter, suggesting it may be a deliberate move to avoid causing offense.
If the release date does indeed get moved again, it will likely be announced soon. However, given the financial importance of Assassin’s Creed Shadows for Ubisoft, which is struggling with declining sales and market share, it is unlikely that any further delays will be made without significant public outcry. For now, gamers can only wait and see what the future holds for this highly anticipated – yet troubled – game.
