According to their official post on X, the new release date is now set to March 20, 2025, delayed from a Valentine’s Day release on February 14.

This is the second instance of the game getting delayed. The first release date was for November 12, 2024, and was delayed into a 2025 release. Their announcement post was made in September where they wanted to “further refine and polish” the game.

According to Ubisoft, “We remain committed to delivering a high-quality, immersive experience-fostered by ongoing dialogue between our players and development teams.”
