While the recently-released Assassins Creed Shadows had seen several delays, its developers apparently used the extra time to add more polish to the game. Speaking to GamesRadar, creative director Jonathan Dumont spoke about how the studio didnt actually make any fundamental changes to Assassins Creed Shadows in the wake of feedback from Star Wars Outlaws.Not really, said Dumont when asked if the delays were because of the feedback from Star Wars Outlaws. We were basically trying to make the most polished game that we [can]. He went on to say that the delays were because, our game was there, so just making sure that we dont have bugs and that the experience is clean for people.While Ubisoft didnt make any sweeping changes to Assassins Creed Shadows after the game got delayed, Dumont did say that a few things were added to the games narrative here and there. These additions typically came in the form of the developers realising that, in a particular scene, this is a place where we could reinforce the relationship.We had a few already, and people love those things, he continued. So alright, lets try to get a little bit more in there.Dumont saw the games release date being delayed a couple of times as opportunities for the studio to further polish the game before it hit store shelves. Its kind of cool also that we were close to launch, and then we get this extra time to do the things that typically youre doing at the end, he said.Since it finally came out on March 20, Assassins Creed Shadows has been doing quite well for Ubisoft.
