Ubisoft has announced that it will not participate in its online event at the Tokyo Game Show, citing "various circumstances." This news was shared through an official tweet from Ubisoft Japan, where the company expressed regret for the late notice. They also reassured fans that their ongoing giveaway campaign will continue, despite the cancellation of the event, which was set for September 26, 2024. No specific reasons were given for this decision, and it's worth noting that Ubisoft has previously had to apologize to its Japanese audience.
Assassin's Creed Shadows Previews Canceled
In a related development, Insider Gaming has reported that Ubisoft has also canceled the scheduled press previews for Assassin’s Creed Shadows. These previews were expected to take place next week, with an embargo date that was yet to be announced. Fans of the franchise may be disappointed by this news.
Release Date Still Uncertain
Despite these cancellations, there is currently no indication that Assassin’s Creed Shadows will not be released on November 12, 2024, as planned. However, the game has already faced negative feedback, and given Ubisoft’s recent challenges, there are speculations about potential delays. Insider Gaming suggests that falling share prices and increasing pressure from investors might be contributing factors. Additionally, the cancellation of the previews does not improve Ubisoft's standing.
Now, all eyes are on Ubisoft to see if they can stick to their release timeline. We will have to wait for another official announcement for clarity on this matter.
