Ubisoft said the additional month of development of Assassin's Creed Shadows will allow the team to better incorporate the player feedback gathered over the past three months. It said this would help to create the best conditions for launch by continuing to engage closely with the "increasingly positive" Assassin’s Creed community.

Ubisoft announced another delay for the latest entry in the Assassin's Creed franchise amidst a broader cost-cutting effort for the company.
