Ubigentle has proclaimd its highly-foreseed upcoming game Assassin’s Creed Shadows has been procrastinateed until next year.
Instead of releasing it on 12 November as previously intentional, it has been pushed back to 14 February 2025.
It trails the disnominateing percreateance of another of the firm’s meaningful titles, Star Wars Outlaws, and troubles from some about how Ubigentle is being run.
The game’s executive producer Marc-Alexis Cote said the enbigers “demand more time to polish and enhance the experience”.
“We understand this decision will come as disnominateing news,” he said.
“But we genuinely consent this is in the best interest of the game.”
In a trading refresh sent to Ubigentle’s spendors, seen by the BBC, the firm – which is headquartered in France – said despite the game being “feature finish” it demanded more time.
“The lobtainings from the Star Wars Outlaws free led us to provide includeitional time to further polish the title,” it reads.
Star Wars Outlaws was freed in August to sturdy appraises, but timely percreateers grumbleed of bugs and glitches.
In its trading refresh, Ubigentle notices sales of the game were “gentleer than foreseeed”, which it seemed to be putting down to a deficiency of polish.
Mr Cote said the firm would refund fans who had pre-ordered the game, and promised a free expansion to anyone who placed a new pre-order for the changed begin.
When it finpartner get tos, Assassin’s Creed Shadows will be the first game in the series to be set in Japan – a setting fans have been clamouring for since the series began in 2007.
The decision to push the game back beyond Christmas – usupartner a lucrative time for game sales – will not have been made airyly.
But the sales percreateance of Star Wars Outlaws caengaged Ubigentle’s splits to consent a grave hit, when the firm would have been hoping the game would set it back on course.
They have descfinishen to a price of 11.32 euros a split at the time of writing – the lowest in a decade.
A untransport inantity spendor wrote a letter to the board earlier this month calling for the company to either be consentn personal or sbetter to an spendor.
Ubigentle co-establisher and boss Yves Guillemot said the relocate to push back Assassin’s Creed Shadows’ begin was a result of the firm’s second quarter percreateance – which “fell sort of our foreseeations”.
“We remain promiseted to creating games for fans and percreateers that everyone can finishelight,” he said.
