The leaked art showcases concepts for historical figures, major cities, and weaponry, and potentially reveals plot spoilers. While authenticity remains unconfirmed until the game's release, the images appear genuine.

The leak comes shortly before Assassin's Creed Shadows' revised launch date of March 20, 2025, following a delay from its initial 2024 release window. IGN recently spoke with game director Charles Benoit, who explained that the delay primarily focused on polishing the game. He confirmed that while some progression elements and balancing adjustments were made, the most significant focus was refining the parkour system to better navigate the complexities of Feudal Japan's architecture. Benoit highlighted the unique challenges posed by the intricate Japanese rooftops, describing them as the most complex environment he's worked with compared to previous titles like Odyssey and Syndicate. Specific code and animation updates were implemented to ensure fluid parkour movement.
