The leaked art showcases concepts for renowned historical figures, major cities, and a diverse array of weaponry. The artwork also seemingly reveals potential plot spoilers for Assassin's Creed Shadows. While confirmation awaits the game's official release, the leaked images appear authentic.
This leak emerges shortly before Assassin's Creed Shadows' anticipated launch on March 20, 2025, following a delay from its initial 2024 release window.
At a recent preview event, IGN spoke with Assassin's Creed Shadows game director, Charles Benoit. He confirmed the month-long delay was primarily focused on polishing the game, without significantly altering core systems. Minor adjustments were made to progression and balancing, but the parkour system received the most attention due to the unique challenges presented by Feudal Japan's architecture.
Benoit explained, "The Japanese architecture, the roofs [are] super complex," "Probably the most complex thing that I ever worked with if we compared to Odyssey and Syndicate. We needed specific codes and specific animations to support something super fluid, changing the transition of the parkour to make it even more fluid. So that's one of the specific feedback that we heard that we wanted to address, and it really improved since the last few months."
