The release date for Assassin’s Creed Shadows is imminent. It is another installment in the beloved never-ending series, and it should be fantastic as it is again spearheaded by Ubisoft Quebec, who were behind the magnificent Odyssey. With its release quickly approaching, Ubisoft has fixed the console specifications for Assassin’s Creed Shadows on PS5 and Xbox after accidentally posting some “inaccuracies”.
