Assassin’s Creed Shadows was delayed last week, but this delay will ensure that players receive a more polished and functional experience. Additionally, it seems this delay will allow the game to launch with an exciting feature: a cooperative multiplayer mode.
According to Insider Gaming, Ubisoft is actively developing a cooperative multiplayer mode for Assassin’s Creed Shadows. This feature was not the reason for the game’s delay, as it was already in development and initially planned as a post-launch downloadable update.

The game, now rescheduled to launch in February 2025 instead of November, gives Ubisoft extra time to include the cooperative mode from day one, rather than as a later update.
Ubisoft has yet to officially comment on this, so while the information comes from a credible source, it's best to treat it as a rumor. We’ll keep you updated as soon as we learn more.
A cooperative mode for Assassin’s Creed Shadows makes sense, given the two main protagonists — Yasuke and Naoe. The game could use this dynamic to deliver a two-player adventure that capitalizes on the unique abilities of each character.
