Assassin's Creed Shadows whisks us to feudal Japan, a setting that Assassin's Creed fans have been hoping to see the series tackle for years. It has two protagonists, but this time you're able to swap between them over the course of the campaign instead of being a choice between two different iterations of one character.
This is the fourteenth mainline Assassin's Creed game, and like Mirage in 2023, is drawing on the series' stealth roots. Here are all the crucial details you need to know about Assassin's Creed Shadows so you can get excited for the next stealth adventure.
- Release date: March 20, 2025
- Setting: Sengoku period Japan
- Characters: Shinobi Naoe and Samurai Yasuke
When is the Assassin's Creed Shadows release date?
The Assassin's Creed Shadows release date is March 20, 2025. Ubisoft announced its final delay in January 2025 as part of a "strategic update" to give developers another month to "focus on gameplay quality and engaging day-one experiences".
It was previously scheduled for November 2024 but Ubisoft announced its first delay in September, pushing the game into February 2025 against other heavy-hitters like Avowed, Civilization 7, and Monster Hunter Wilds.
