Black History Month is October for Europe, February for America, Ubisoft is a French company. February is a very popular spot for AAA releases in the past few years. The game was scheduled for November release and has seemingly been delayed for polishing reasons, it's not going to get a lengthy delay if the delay is only for polish, and AAAs don't tend to (but do sometimes) release in January.
Ergo, February. Where multiple other AAAs are scheduled to release already for 2025.
Also, Ubisoft's FY ends March 31st, 2025. They're clearly still trying to release it in their FY so it's either January, February, or March; Better for them to do it sooner than March so that more sales are reflected in the FY reporting, early January is just coming off Christmas, late January could be possible but most tend to opt for February and it gives them that extra bit of polish after that Christmas break.
Not everything has to be a conspiracy theory.
