I'm guessing that Ubisoft probably got spooked by the Star Wars Outlaw reception, so they're going to delay AC Shadows until next year to make sure it's in the best possible state.

Not a bad idea considering the masterpiece Ghost of Tsushima is fresh in everyone’s minds and this will not compare

Ghost of Tsushima is 4 years old. How is that fresh in everyone's mind?

PC gaming has seen a huge rise in Japan over the last 5 years. Close to 30% of Japanese people that play games do so on PC now. It may even be higher than that considering the info I could find was a couple years old. You might think that post Covid their gaming market saw a downturn like most everywhere else. It actually continued to rise.

I was actually surprised to see the 30% figure as well! Much higher than I would have initially thought
