He also revealed that these issues mainly occurred because Ubisoft brought historical experts much later. There was also miscommunication between the team, so without proper teamwork and historical experts, the game was bound to be delayed. 

The insider has also revealed that while the pre-orders don’t match Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, they are still pretty strong and that Assassin’s Creed Shadows is likely to sell well.
