It’s always a bummer to see a game get delayed, but it's great that Ubisoft is taking a step back to ensure quality after the rocky launch of Star Wars Outlaws. Here’s hoping Assassin's Creed Shadows combines all the classic elements we love with a fresh twist, making that Valentine’s Day release worth the wait
