Most wouldn't describe anything over a month long as "a few weeks", but regardless: Assassin's Creed Shadows' release date is now March 20th, 2025. This official statement appeals to player sentiment, but several people have spotted other reasons behind the delay, including a possible Tencent buyout.

Ubisoft said the additional month of development of Assassin's Creed Shadows will allow the team to better incorporate the player feedback gathered over the past three months. It said this would help to create the best conditions for launch by continuing to engage closely with the "increasingly positive" Assassin’s Creed community.
