Assassin’s Creed Shadows has leaked early, causing Ubisoft to comment on the situation.
The team working on Assassin’s Creed Shadows shared that they know the game has leaked, asking fans to avoid the footage since it won’t represent the final product. Plenty of people are hyped for Assassin’s Creed Shadows since it’s the series’ first outing in Japan, and in addition to that excitement, there are plenty of expectations surrounding this title’s success since it’s likely to define core aspects of Ubisoft’s future.
It seems that some people are getting their hands on copies of Assassin’s Creed Shadows a month ahead of its planned launch. Although gamers are excited to play through the new Assassin’s Creed title, the game is still several weeks away from release, and the team is still making plenty of adjustments to ensure that it’s in the best shape possible. It’s likely some of these changes will be reflected in a day-one patch and that the base version won’t represent the exact vision the developers have. That has not prevented players from sharing leaked footage of their gameplay.
Ubisoft released a social media statement informing people that the company is aware of recent leaks for Assassin’s Creed Shadows. In the post, Ubisoft asks fans to avoid seeking out and sharing any of the leaked footage, emphasizing that although some are playing a version of the game, it’s not representative of the final product. The company expands on this by asking anyone who has access to or has seen the leaked version of the game not to ruin any surprises that Assassin’s Creed Shadows has in store for players.
Ubisoft Cautions Fans to Look Out for Assassin’s Creed Shadows Spoilers
Some people have responded to this news with skepticism, expressing that if the physical copy of the game isn’t in the state that the game needs to be, fans shouldn’t expect much from the full release. However, others have pointed out that the physical copies were likely burnt months ago and probably lack many recent tweaks. Additionally, some are saying that this is just the state of the industry, as gaming pushes closer toward a possible all-digital future.
The team also warned its fans to avoid spoilers, noting that there are “official surprises” set to be revealed in the next few weeks and reassuring them that March 20 is a fast-approaching date. Still, many fans have been waiting a long time for this game. After already experiencing several delays for Assassin’s Creed Shadows, seeing a new social media statement from the Assassin’s Creed account made some gamers fear that the title was being pushed back once again. Regardless, people have been understanding of the unfortunate nature of these leaks and are looking forward to seeing the full release of Assassin’s Creed Shadows when it’s actually ready.
