Assassin’s Creed fans will soon get the next major installment to the franchise. Ubisoft has been slowly chipping away at Assassin’s Creed Shadows, and now it’s nearly here. The game is slated to launch on March 20, 2025. However, we have been waiting for the exact release times and preloading details.

Fortunately, Ubisoft has released that information today. The official X Assassin’s Creed account has a breakdown of the full global release times for the game. For instance, New York will get access to the game on March 20, 2025, at 12 AM EDT.

Meanwhile, those on the United States West Coast will see the game released on March 19, 2025, at 9 PM PDT.

But again, we should see for ourselves soon enough when it launches for the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC platforms.
