The Assassin’s Creed Shadows delay adds another huge action RPG to a month that’s already stuffed.
To the best of my recollection, February hasn’t always been one of the biggest months for game releases, but the industry’s habit of delaying games from the holiday season to the start of the next year has turned it into a magnet for big games that needed „extra time for polish.“ And boy is February 2025 stacked.
The last-minute delay of Assassin’s Creed Shadows just added another big game to a month that was already spilling over. Here’s what I’m talking about:
Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 — February 11
Civilization 7 — February 11
Assassin’s Creed Shadows — February 14
Avowed — February 18
Monster Hunter Wilds — February 27
Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii — February 27
Assassin’s Creed Shadows, Avowed, and Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 are all in February because of delays. The others might’ve picked early 2025 in part to avoid those formerly 2024 games, but as happens so often now, that didn’t work out.
