Renowned industry insider, Tom Henderson, has shed light on the reasons behind Assassin's Creed Shadows’ postponement to 2025. The delay, he reveals, is multifaceted, encompassing the need to rectify historical and cultural inaccuracies and further polish the overall experience. While rumors of Yasuke's removal circulated, Henderson clarifies that the character remains, though his narrative arc will undergo some revisions.

However, Henderson's sources confidently predict a February 14th release date, citing sufficient time for the developers to complete the necessary improvements.
