Ubisoft is preparing for the highly anticipated release of Assassin’s Creed Shadows, the latest chapter of the saga set in feudal Japan, scheduled for March 20. This release represents a kind of “last bullet” for the company, which has faced numerous delays and controversies on its way here. Users are eager to find out what this installment has in store and whether it meets the expectations set by its predecessors.
A changing launch hour depending on region and platform
Through a message on their official Twitter account, Ubisoft has shared the preload and launch times for the game. It is essential to note that these times vary by platform (Xbox, PlayStation, PC) and region. The Xbox version will have an earlier preload time compared to the PlayStation and PC versions, which has sparked speculation about the reasons for this difference. On the other hand, the Mac version will be available between March 19 at 15:00 (UTC) and March 20 at 14:00, depending on the region and time zone.
Despite the efforts of Ubisoft Quebec, the company has faced issues in the final phase of development, leading to the need for corrections in the release timeline and preload. These setbacks have generated uncertainty among fans, who hope the company will fulfill its promises of a flawless launch.
With the revelation of schedules and the context of challenges facing Ubisoft, the gaming community continues to wonder if Assassin’s Creed Shadows will be a worthy conclusion to the saga or if it will fall into the same traps as its predecessors. Expectations are high and the release date is approaching quickly.
