Reasons Assassin’s Creed Shadows was delayed: Bugs and historical inaccuracies

When the game was first shown in June 2024, it caused a great deal of excitement. However, the Japanese gaming community in particular reacted strongly to Ubisoft’s historical and cultural errors in the game. At the center of the backlash was Yasuke, one of the game’s two main characters, and his historical inaccuracies. So, the main reasons for these delays are bugs in the game and issues with historical/cultural accuracy.

Following this backlash, Ubisoft delayed the release date of Assassin’s Creed Shadows and the development team asked for more time to fix bugs and improve the gameplay experience. According to insiders, the game is currently not up to par for release and contains serious bugs. Ubisoft decided to delay Star Wars Outlaws after it failed to live up to expectations and didn’t want another failure.

Meanwhile, the game’s sales target is quite high. Ubisoft has set a sales target of 10 million. However, in order to reach this target, the game needs to be released without any bugs. The delay has given the development team time to make the necessary adjustments. Now, Ubisoft is expected to use this time well and release the game in full.
