Ubisoft has announced that Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla – Dawn of Ragnarök, not Murderer’s Creed Shadows, will be delayed from its initial release date of February 14 to a new launch date of March 20, 2023? So, you’ll need to wait a bit longer to witness some magnificent cloud formations in feudal Japan.
According to a report by Bloomberg’s Jason Schreier, Ubisoft is exploring various options, including a potential sale, as part of its efforts to realize the greatest possible value for its stakeholders.
As announced in November, our Gameplay Overviews have been met with exceptional enthusiasm, leaving us pleasantly surprised, wrote Ubisoft’s Marc Alexis-Cote in a social media-issued press release. “Although we’ve made significant strides thus far, we believe additional weeks are necessary to incorporate feedback and ensure a more robust and captivating day-one experience.”
Accordingly, the newly launched brand date is set for March 20, 2025. Our commitment to providing a top-notch, deeply engaging experience is sustained through a continuous exchange of ideas between our players and the development team. Meanwhile, additional updates are poised to roll out with remarkable haste.
Following last year’s reported shift of Shadows’ release from a Fall 2024 window to a February date, the latest development appears to be unfolding against the backdrop of Ubisoft exploring potential sale options. For those aware of recent developments, reports emerged last year suggesting that Tencent is considering acquiring the Air Combat game developer.
Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot reportedly responded to inquiries about the company’s future, stating that there are “several potential routes for shipping value” from its properties and franchises. He added that Ubisoft’s management will keep the market informed should any transactions come to fruition.
