When is the Assassin’s Creed Shadows Release Date?

We all know it’s coming. Assassin’s Creed is one franchise that Ubisoft won’t toss aside, at least not yet, though they are splitting the community between stealth and RPG mechanics. Either way, we have multiple new AC projects on the way. The closest one is Assassin’s Creed Shadows. Here’s what we know about the Assassin’s Creed Shadows release date!

When Does Assassin’s Creed Shadows Release?

The official release date for Assassin’s Creed Shadows is November 15, and you can pre-order the game right now via the Ubisoft Store for $69.99. We’ll learn more about it at the upcoming reveal at Ubisoft Forward this summer, which should feature additional story and gameplay elements.

There are three versions of Assassin’s Creed Shadows coming in November, including:

  • Standard Edition: $69.99
    • Base Game
    • Pre-Order Bonus
  • Gold Edition: $109.99
    • Base Game
    • Pre-Order Bonus
    • Season Pass
    • 3 Days Early Access
  • Ultimate Edition: $129.99
    • Base Game
    • Pre-Order Bonus
    • Season Pass
    • 3 Days Early Access
    • Ultimate Pack

If you subscribe to Ubisoft+, you can play the Ultimate Edition the moment the game becomes available!

What is Assassin’s Creed Shadows?

Assassin’s Creed Shadows is the upcoming mainline series entry, following in the footsteps of Origins, Odyssey, and Valhalla. It’s less about the stealth gameplay, though that will take a significant role in the overall gameplay, as it did in past entries, and more about exploration in the open world and RPG mechanics, like in recent titles. It appears Ubisoft intends to split the franchise down the middle, with both genres to appease both types of players.

As a fan of the more RPG-centric Assassin’s Creed titles, I’m excited to play one set in Feudal Japan finally. However, I genuinely hope the stealth-focused crowd receives one up to their standards soon enough. But hey, maybe Assassin’s Creed Shadows will merge the best of both worlds to be the one entry we all desire!

Either way, Assassin’s Creed Shadows is said to feature an expansive world, challenging yet rewarding combat, base-building mechanics, and two protagonists: Naoe and Yasuke. You’re likely not a samurai, however. Instead, we’ll most likely play as a ninja or Ronin.
