Assassin’s Creed Shadows Global Release Times Confirmed

Ubisoft has officially announced the global release times for the much-anticipated Assassin’s Creed Shadows. This installment breaks from tradition by having a unified, actual release date across all platforms, with no option for early access through additional payment.

Assassin’s Creed Shadows will launch at 12am local time on March 20 for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X and S. However, PC players should note that release times vary depending on the platform—Steam or Ubisoft's own Ubi Connect. Pre-loading is already available on Xbox Series X and S, PlayStation 5, and PC.

IGN’s review of Assassin’s Creed Shadows awarded it an impressive 8/10, praising the game for refining its open-world mechanics: “By sharpening the edges of its existing systems, Assassin’s Creed Shadows creates one of the best versions of the open-world style it’s been honing for the last decade.”
