Creed Shadows Early Access Axed in Ubisoft Shifts

Ubisoft's Recent Decisions: Assassin's Creed Shadows and Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown

Ubisoft has made several significant announcements impacting the future of two of its titles. The early access release for Assassin's Creed Shadows, initially planned for those who purchased the Collector's Edition, has been canceled. This decision follows a delay of the game's official launch to February 14th, 2025, for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. The price of the Collector's Edition has also been reduced from $280 to $230. While the Collector's Edition still includes the artbook, steelbook, figurine, and other promised items, the early access perk is no longer available. Reports suggest the cancellation stems from challenges in maintaining historical accuracy and cultural representation, factors also contributing to the release date postponement. Further, there are unconfirmed rumors of a planned co-op mode featuring both antagonists, Naoe and Yasuke.

Separately, Ubisoft has dissolved the development team behind Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown. Despite positive critical reception, the decision, according to French media outlet Origami, is attributed to the game failing to meet sales expectations. While specific sales figures remain undisclosed, Ubisoft has acknowledged disappointment with the title's performance within the context of a challenging year for the company. The team's senior producer, Abdelhak Elguess, confirmed the news, emphasizing the team's pride in their work and expressing confidence in the game's long-term success. The team's focus is now shifting to other projects, with plans to bring The Lost Crown to Mac by winter. Ubisoft reiterates its commitment to the Prince of Persia franchise, promising future installments.
