I don't know anyone that's excited for this. The reveal had a few friends excited but everything they've shown since has lessened the hype lol
 
From article:

Assassin’s Creed Shadows is a dream project for us; finally bringing the series to Feudal Japan with many features developed with our community in mind, such as parkour or the renewed stealth, brought by new technology, all set in a beautiful and immersive world.

This is an ambitious addition to the franchise, a rich experience that can be lived through the eyes of two unique protagonists – but we realize we need more time to polish and refine the experience, pushing further some of our key features.

As such, we’ve made the decision to postpone the release date to February 14, 2025. The game will release on a broad range of platforms, including Steam at launch. Additionally, preorders will be refunded and all future preorders will be granted the first expansion for free.

We understand this decision will come as disappointing news, especially to those who’ve been waiting patiently for an Assassin’s Creed game inspired by Feudal Japan, but we sincerely believe this is in the best interest of the game, and ultimately your experience as a player. Rest assured we are looking forward to the moment you will embark on a memorable adventure with Naoe and Yasuke.

Until then, we thank you for your ongoing support

I am down with that. The more polish, the better.
 
Ubisoft really needs to change their way of working and start being innovative again. Take time for creating games and use technology from 2024, not of 10 years ago (faces in games).
 
I'm personally uninterested in the game (still to play Ghost of Tsushima) but have noted the furore around the main character. Are they backtracking on that?
 
This is only open-world Assassin's Creed game that I've been unsure about. I'll still play it but the trailers haven't sold me on it.
 
AC Shadows for 2025 seems to me a rather difficult decision only because next year is expected to be probably one of the biggest gaming years if almost everything that has been announced will come out, but if it helps the game to come out in a good state and you wouldn't have paid full price for it in November to actually be playable in February... it's probably better that way.
