Assassin’s Creed Shadows Leaks Draw Official Response From Ubisoft

by

Lately, there has been a significant leak concerning Assassin’s Creed Shadows. The game, set to release soon, appears to have been prematurely accessed by some individuals who even posted complete gameplay clips online. This isn’t a minor leak.

It appears you weren’t very discreet there. Apologies. Following this incident, Ubisoft has responded via a post on X, urging players to stay low-key. They are devising a strategy to restore a more subtle presence.

First: subterfuge. In their eyes, the less people trust the leaks, the better.

The team is currently refining patches for a smooth game release, so any video you see online may not showcase the ultimate game quality.

To bring the message home, they warn of danger:

Leaks are unfortunate and can diminish the excitement for players.

And with the stick firmly applied, they move for the carrot.

Thank you to our community for already taking steps to protect everyone from spoilers.

For those eagerly anticipating the launch of Assassin’s Creed Shadows, Ubisoft has more exciting revelations up its sleeve. However, such a large-scale leak could potentially dampen the excitement they have built up.

But, for the fans who heed Ubisoft’s message, there is still a way to keep the hype train rolling.

As a fellow enthusiast, I urge you to lurk in the background, steer clear of any potential spoilers, and stay tuned to our channel for some thrilling official revelations in the upcoming days!

Although it might be impossible to reverse the situation now, Ubisoft doesn’t necessarily need to maintain a long-term solution. The release date for Assassin’s Creed Shadows is set for March 20th of this year, so those who wish to steer clear of spoilers won’t have to cover their ears for an extended period.

Assassin’s Creed Shadows Fights Off Leaks

This is hardly the first time Assassin’s Creed Shadows has sprung a bit of a leak.

Through a breach on Steam, details about an upcoming DLC expansion for one of their games were exposed. Gamers managed to catch a glimpse of the expansion’s title, as well as a concise summary of its content.

Additionally, there was an unauthorized release of an art book containing various game content such as outfits, weapons, locations, and more. This leak wasn’t traced back to a well-known source like Steam, thus its dissemination was somewhat restricted.

This year has seen two incidents of leaks so far, and we haven’t even reached the end of February yet. Given this rate, it’s possible that the project may continue to leak. However, it’s difficult to foresee anything more substantial than “an early version of the complete game,” unless perhaps there’s an issue with game piracy. But that’s a topic for another discussion altogether.
