Assassin's Creed Shadows Leaks Weeks Before Official Launch

Physical copies of Ubisoft's delayed action-RPG have surfaced early, prompting concerns about spoilers and potential impact on the game's release.

Physical copies of Assassin's Creed Shadows have been obtained by some players nearly a month ahead of its March 20 release date, with gameplay footage and images circulating online.
Ubisoft confirmed the leaks and emphasized that the shared content represents an older build of the game, missing key updates planned for the official launch.
The company has urged players to avoid sharing spoilers to preserve the experience for others, while actively issuing copyright strikes to limit the spread of leaked material.
Assassin's Creed Shadows has faced multiple delays since its original November 2024 release date, with the latest postponement attributed to additional polishing and community feedback.
The game, set in medieval Japan, is seen as a critical release for Ubisoft following recent financial struggles and controversies surrounding its development.
