Ubisoft has said it is delaying Assassin's Creed Shadows again, as the company explores sale options.

It was previously releasing Feb 14. Does not look good for Ubisoft.

Are delays not good? It’s preferable to being broken on launch, not to say that it couldn’t be, but it’s likely that it would be more broken if not delayed.

When a game gets delayed it’s not a good sign in general. It means “the game is broken and we can’t release it as it is”.

Of course a delayed game will be better than a game that needed to be delayed and released anyways instead, but realistically speaking you can’t fix a broken AAA sized game in one or two months.

Add this to the fact that Ubisoft (rightfully so) earned a bad reputation among players as time went on, and that devs can’t work at their best when they are crunching and they fear to be laid off, and you’ll understand why non-casual gamers don’t have faith in the game.

Takes extra time to get that fourth A.

Also, never give Ubisoft money.
