After the disappointing sales of Star Wars Outlaws, Ubisoft absolutely must catch up on its future productions since its share price is at its lowest level in ten years. And inevitably, it is Assassin’s Creed Shadows which bears the heavy responsibility of this task. While the game has been postponed, a surprise game mode is reportedly in development and could give a new dynamic to the title.
A multiplayer mode in Assassin’s Creed Shadows!
Ubisoft’s financial situation is not in good shape and the postponement of Assassin’s Creed Shadows to February 2025 was accompanied by a change in the economic model for the game. Once the Season Pass is over, those who have pre-ordered the game will will offer the first expansion for free. Also, the game will land on Steam as soon as it is released, namely February 14, 2025.
While Ubisoft is thinking about a new collector’s item for its game and a call for a strike is launched in France, the development teams are reportedly preparing a big surprise for the long-awaited game.
According to the often very well-informed sources of journalist Tom Henderson, Assassin’s Creed Shadows will offer a cooperative mode, but its release would not be planned for the launch of the game.
The new co-op game mode, codenamed LEAGUE, reportedly has no set release date due to the game’s recent postponement. But insider sources indicate that LEAGUE was in development well before the postponement and that this is not an addition due to the delay.
The details of this new mode are not yet known, but we can easily imagine that the cooperative mode will offer playing Naoe and Yasuke side by side, using their different abilities. Assassin’s Creed Unity also offered a co-op mode at the time, so Ubisoft would try the experience again with Assassin’s Creed Shadows which was designed from the start to offer a story with two key characters. Fans waiting for the return of a multiplayer experience in Assassin’s Creed will therefore be delighted to hear the news.
