Last year, the Tokyo Game Show was canceled and the release date of "Assassin's Creed: Shadowbringers" was announced, which was originally scheduled to be released on November 11.Postponed to February 2 this year, but Ubisoft earlierAnnounce againThe game was postponed to March 3th in order to collect more player feedback and improve the gaming experience.
Some believe that the previous cancellation of the Tokyo Game Show was related to Sucker Punch's unveiling of the sequel to Ghost of Tsushima, Ghost of Tsushima, and the recent announcement of a postponement was to avoid the release date of Monster Hunter Wilds, which was scheduled to be released on February 2.
Ubisoft is currently facing many difficulties. For example, the previously highly anticipated "Star Wars: Desperadoes" was launched at the end of August this year, but it only sold about 8 million copies in the global market. The pre-order volume of "Assassin's Creed: Shadowbringers" is even lower than that of the previously released "Assassin's Creed: Valkyrie". At the same time, the game itself has been criticized by many Japanese players due to its theme setting.
When Ubisoft previously announced the delay of Assassin's Creed: Shadowbringers, it stated that it would refund pre-orders for the original game and provide the first wave of expansion packs free to subsequent pre-orders. However, with the recent announcement of the game's delay, Ubisoft did not specify whether it would provide any additional compensation measures.
