Assassin's Creed Shadows Poll

Originally meant to release in November of last year, Assassin's Creed Shadows has finally arrived, two launch date delays later.

It's no secret that a lot is riding on this game for Ubisoft. The embattled publisher is desperate for a win, and it'll be hoping that its best-selling franchise can turn the tide.

The open world RPG's off to a good start, at least. Reviews have been very positive, and early impressions from fans are equally so. But of course, with a game this big, it'll take at least a few days — maybe a week or so — for players to form full opinions.

We gave the title a 'great' 8/10 in our Assassin's Creed Shadows PS5 review. "While Assassin's Creed Shadows is unlikely to win over those who struggled to push through Odyssey or Valhalla, this is still one of the strongest overall entries in the series," is what we wrote, praising the game's gorgeous world and largely enticing storytelling.

For what it's worth, we've also written a big old Assassin's Creed Shadows guide (which is still being updated!) — so check that out if you need any help with the release.
