The leaked art showcases designs for historical figures, major cities, and weaponry, hinting at potential 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 interviewed game director Charles Benoit, who explained the delay was primarily focused on polishing the game. While some progression elements and balancing adjustments were made, the most significant refinement involved the parkour system. The complexity of Feudal Japanese architecture presented unique challenges, requiring specialized code and animations to maintain fluidity. Benoit highlighted the intricate roof designs as the most demanding aspect of the development process compared to previous installments like Odyssey and Syndicate.
