“We are aware of the connectivity issues and are working hard to resolve them,” a Ubisoft spokesperson stated. Hopefully, the issue will be resolved soon.

Ubisoft's Leak History

This isn't the first time Ubisoft has dealt with a leak. Remember the Beyond Good & Evil remaster incident? A technical error resulted in an incomplete version of the game being accidentally released to Ubisoft+ subscribers. Some players managed to snag copies before it was pulled.

Ubisoft seems to be drawing on both past mistakes and past successes in addressing the current Assassin's Creed leak. Only time will tell if their approach is effective.

Despite the hiccups, Assassin's Creed Shadows is shaping up to be a massive release. Get your systems ready, preload the game, and stay tuned for updates on Ubisoft Connect. We'll keep you informed as we learn more!
