It looks like at least a few people got physical copies of their hands Assassin's Creed Shadows Before the official start of the game on March 20. According to reports, a player played the next entry in Ubisoft's long -standing franchise online. (No spoilers are included below.)

Was announced for the first time in 2022 as a project in redPresent Assassin's Creed: Shadow Finally brings the creeping historical action of the franchise to Japan. Since then it seems to have been affected with complications. In the game, players can jump between two different characters – the sneaky Ninja Naoe and the mighty Samurai Yasuke. Who is based on a real black warrior from history. Yasuks recording has led to some online very angry and led too much discourse. The game also suffered two delaysShadow Was originally planned in November 2024. And now Ubisoft has a completely new problem: the game is leaked through.

On February 24th, VGC And IGN reported These physical copies of Assassin's Creed Shadows Somehow had entered the wilderness, and people have bought the game early and started playing it.

A person on Twitter claimed to have bought a leaked copy of Shadow On Facebook Marketplace and common pictures of his box together with the film material from you. The pictures and videos were removed from Ubisoft, which may confirm their validity. Another user on Reddit claimed to have an early copy and play it on PS5, with alleged details of the first few hours participating. According to reports, the players have also started to stream the game on Twitch, although these programs are quickly decreased and the archives scrubbed.

Thegamer Further reported The one list for Assassin's Creed: Shadow appeared in the online dealer Mercari. The list was supposedly sold copies of the game for $ 100 per pop. A picture of the seller showed that he apparently held several copies of Ubisoft Assassin's Creed Consequence.

For Ubisoft, this is probably the last thing that wanted to happen after the last year of delays, discourse, online screaming and the complaints about quality based on the early gameplay.

From what I played in my preview at the beginning of this year I'm looking forward to Shadow And think it could be the best Assassin's Creed Game in years. The question now is: How many other fires will have to be published beforehand Shadow Publications on March 20?
