As per reliable insider Tom Henderson, Assassin’s Creed Shadows will soon bring a co-op multiplayer mode post-launch. Zampella said this mode, codenamed LEAGUE right now was in development before the recent delay of the game.

The Upcoming Upgrades in Assassin Creed Shadows
As for the validity of this leak, it sounds very likely considering that Assassin’s Creed Invictus is pegged to offer up a rather different gameplay experience from what traditional games in the series have had to offer. Leaks from another insider, xJ0nathan say that players will cycle through rounds and different types of play like team deathmatch, free-for-all, and what sounds like a speed game where you need to tap glowing points around the map.
Over time, players will get to select a variety of powers that will allow them to create different builds. Its arcadey gameplay includes a bubble shield that is inspired by Super Smash Bros. and have a third-person camera view as well. The maps are designed to include locations from all preceding entries in the franchise and will feature Ezio, and Cesare Borgia as playable characters.
In the case of Assassin’s Creed Shadows, it was slated for a November 15th, 2024 release and has been pushed back to February 18th, 2025. The decision comes in the name of polish for the game and making sure that it launches smoothly without issues after a tough year of major games released on all platforms, avoiding the pitfalls experienced by titles like Star Wars Outlaws.
Henderson also said that Ubisoft is “looking at several cultural and historical issues” raised by the community, especially about Yasuke who will ultimately remain in the game next to improving architectural details. The upcoming release is pivotal for Ubisoft, as the success of Assassin’s Creed Shadows is crucial following a series of disappointing launches for the company.
