The leaked art showcases concepts for historical figures, major cities, and weaponry, and potentially reveals plot spoilers. While authenticity remains unconfirmed until the game's release, the images appear genuine.
The leak comes shortly before Assassin's Creed Shadows' revised launch date of March 20, 2025, following a delay from its initial 2024 release. IGN recently interviewed game director Charles Benoit, who attributed the delay to polishing and improvements to player engagement and balancing. He specifically highlighted challenges in optimizing the parkour system for the complex architecture of Feudal Japan. Benoit stated that the Japanese rooftops presented unique difficulties, requiring specialized coding and animations to maintain fluidity in the parkour mechanics.
