Video game giant Ubisoft has announced a further delay to its upcoming Assassin’s Creed Shadows.
The long-running series is one of the French publisher’s flagship franchises, with recent instalment, Valhalla, reportedly making more than $1bn.
Assassin’s Creed Shadows, set in 16th Century Japan, was due to be released on PC, PlayStation and Xbox last November before an initial delay to February 2025.
Announcing the new release date of 20 March, executive producer Marc-Alexis Coté said a “few additional weeks are needed” to ensure the game’s launch goes smoothly.
Players complained that Ubisoft’s major 2024 release, Star Wars Outlaws, was launched with bugs and glitches.
The company’s bosses told investors the sci-fi tie-in’s sales were “softer than expected” and said “learnings” from Outlaws’ launch had prompted the original delay to Assassin’s Creed Shadows.
In his update, Mr Coté thanked fans for their support and said the extra time would allow the development team to implement “valuable feedback” from gamers.

When Susannah Morgan learned that an operation to remove a benign tumour in her neck could leave her with a crooked smile she was “frantic”.
The 45-year-old was advised to have it removed in case it turned cancerous but she was warned the surgery would also leave her with a dent in her neck and possible paralysis.
Desperate to avoid being permanently disfigured, she researched alternatives and discovered a new technique using a hologram which could save her smile.
