Majority of Gamers Are Unwilling To Buy Assassin’s Creed Shadows

Expert Verified By

Many Players Either Dislike Ubisoft Or The AC Franchise!

Story Highlight
  • Several recent polls conducted on various forums suggest that many gamers are unwilling to buy Assassin’s Creed Shadows.
  • Most gamers who refused to buy the game showed dislike for Ubisoft or the Assassin’s Creed franchise in general.
  • Others are simply not interested in pre-ordering or buying until the game goes on a huge sale a few months after the launch.

A lot of gamers are hesitant about Assassin’s Creed Shadows because of controversies in historical accuracies and gameplay choices. However, a motley of polls on forums and social media posts suggests that many are unwilling to give the game a try, even for free.

We’ve found a number of these polls unveiling that many gamers are refusing to buy the game. Many are rejecting the RPG because of past Ubisoft fumbles, while others have lost hope in the AC franchise. 

Why it matters: Many gamers on social media plan to skip *AC Shadows*, citing gameplay or other concerns, while those interested remain cautiously optimistic.

We’ve analyzed polls from mid-last year to the ones posted recently, and the fan reception for Assassin’s Creed Shadows does not appear to have changed. Those who want to try the game will only get it through sales or after the entry gets more polished after launch.

Many gamers are advising against pre-ordering, suggesting waiting for reviews first. Despite Ubisoft’s delays, the situation still looks tough for Assassin’s Creed Shadows.

For those not in the know, Assassin’s Creed Shadows had many physical copies leaked recently, and the player impressions were mostly positive. Therefore, it’s too early to tell what the game’s post-launch reception will turn out to be.

Ubisoft does not want you to use one-shot assassinations in AC Shadows.

The game is set to drop on March 20, 2025, for PC and consoles.
