The leak comes shortly before Assassin's Creed Shadows' revised release date of March 20, 2025, following a delay from its initially planned 2024 launch. Game director Charles Benoit recently explained to IGN that the delay primarily focused on polishing the game and improving player engagement. Specific adjustments included balancing gameplay elements and refining the parkour system, which presented unique challenges due to the complexity of Feudal Japanese architecture. Benoit highlighted the intricate roof designs as a significant hurdle, requiring specialized coding and animations to maintain fluidity in the parkour mechanics.
