Assassin’s Creed Shadows Leaks Online a Month Before Official Release
Ubisoft confirms gameplay and copies of the game have surfaced online, calling the leaks 'regrettable' as developers finalize the title ahead of its March 20 launch.
- Ubisoft's highly anticipated game, Assassin’s Creed Shadows, leaked online with gameplay footage and physical copies appearing on auction sites.
- The leaks occurred ahead of the official release date, which is set for March 20, after two prior delays from November 2024 and February 2025.
- Ubisoft expressed concern that the leaks could diminish player excitement and emphasized that the leaked content does not reflect the final quality of the game.
