While a game getting delayed multiple times is never a good sign, let's hope it works out for Ubisoft's sake. The embattled publisher has had a rough 2024, with its tentpole game, Star Wars Outlaws, failing to meet sales expectations. It was even outpaced at retail by a considerably older Star Wars game (Star Wars Jedi: Survivor).

Assassin's Creed Shadows is expected to launch March 20, 2025, after multiple delays. The most recent was only by a month, which doesn't seem like much time to change anything significant. So why did Ubisoft push the game?
