Delay, Dilemmas, and Decisions
The much-anticipated Assassin’s Creed Shadows has certainly seen its share of ups and downs recently. Ubisoft initially made headlines when it decided to withdraw from the Tokyo Game Show entirely, which left fans scratching their heads. While concerns about a bug-ridden experience are valid, the mystery behind the absence only thickened the air of anticipation surrounding this title.
Shaking Things Up
On the heels of this announcement, Ubisoft shared more details – including a rather surprising launch delay that pushes Shadows to February 2025. It’s clear that the developers are committed to delivering a worthy addition to the Assassin’s Creed franchise. But what’s the catch? Well, it seems they’re significantly altering their launch and monetization strategy, suggesting that we might witness a new era for Assassin’s Creed games.
Collector’s Edition Price Slashed
Speaking of changes, let’s talk prices. Despite the disappointment surrounding the delay, gamers can find a silver lining: the price of the Assassin’s Creed Shadows collector’s edition has been reduced by a hefty $50. This news was shared by Ubisoft via Discord, proving that even amid chaos, there might be opportunities for fans to snag a deal when the game finally rolls out. Whether this is a clever strategy or merely a reaction to the circumstances remains to be seen, but one thing’s for sure: shadows are lurking, and they bring a mix of hope and uncertainty.
