*********’s Creed Shadows Early Access Cancelled by Ubisoft

*********’s Creed Shadows was supposed to be released on November 15, but thanks to a considerable delay, it was pushed back to February 14. Then, the game’s branding was washed with a fresh dose of hot water following some design controversies tied to some merchandise, and now Ubisoft has confirmed the cancellation of any early access to the game.

It’s still a pretty highly anticipated title, but it’s proving to be quite a slog just to get hands-on with the end product.

Making Changes

In the *********’s Creed Discord server, an official Q&A session revealed new details about the *********’s Creed Shadows collector’s edition, which is a super-sized bundle originally priced at almost $300.

Per the Q&A session, some monumental changes have been made:

• The early access portion of the offering has been cancelled. It will now be released on February 14 alongside the base game
• The game’s season pass has been scrapped, so this will understandably not be included with the collector’s edition as planned

These changes reflect an alteration in the game’s pricing. It has gone from around $279 to $229. It was also explained by Ubisoft that further changes might be made to the collector’s edition’s aesthetic, statue, steelbook, art book, and so on.

These changes might be inspired by the issues Ubisoft has had thus far maintaining historical accuracy and cultural representation. Further scandals in that area could be the final nail in the coffin for this game from a PR standpoint.

The Gold Edition of *********’s Creed Shadows was also planned to be released three days early and go hand-in-hand with a season pass, but given these recent comments, it’s almost guaranteed that the price of that edition will also drop, as will the digital offering and early access window.

Are you disappointed about these changes? Let us know on the Insider Gaming forum.
