In a surprise announcement, Ubisoft recently pushed the release date for the upcoming Assassin’s Creed Shadows back by a few months into 2025. Interestingly, it seems as though the upcoming title was hiding an exciting feature in the ‘shadows’, as the game is reportedly getting a co-op mode post-launch.

As reported by known leakers Insider-Gaming, “Assassin’s Creed Shadows currently has a co-op mode in development, which is scheduled to release post-launch.”

According to the publication, the new mode is codenamed LEAGUE, and while it does not have a release window currently due to the aforementioned delay, this co-op mode was reportedly in development long before said delay – and so is not being slapped together after-the-fact to try and satiate fans.

Further details on the mode are currently light, however it is interesting to see Ubisoft bringing co-op back to the Assassin’s Creed series after so long. Hopefully we hear official word on the co-op mode – as well as everything the team is changing thanks to the delay – sooner rather than later. We will have to wait and see.
