Ubisoft has announced that Watch Dogs and The Crew have been delayed. Both titles were previously set for Ubisoft’s current fiscal year (which ends on March 31, 2014) but will now be released in the following fiscal year instead. This means that the earliest date either title will be released is April 1, 2014.

 

Ubisoft posted the following statement from the Watch Dogs development team on the Ubisoft Blog:

"Our ambition from the start with Watch Dogs has been to deliver something that embodies what we wanted to see in the next-generation of gaming. It is with this in mind that we’ve made the tough decision to delay the release until spring 2014.

We know a lot of you are probably wondering: Why now? We struggled with whether we would delay the game. But from the beginning, we have adopted the attitude that we will not compromise on quality. As we got closer to release, as all the pieces of the puzzle were falling into place in our last push before completion, it became clear to us that we needed to take the extra time to polish and fine tune each detail so we can deliver a truly memorable and exceptional experience.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank all of you. We thoroughly enjoy and appreciate the way you respond on the web, at events, press conferences and other opportunities we have to interact. Your passion keeps us motivated.

We can’t wait to see you in Chicago next spring. We are confident you’ll love this game as much as we love working on it."

 

 

Looks like we won't be hacking into anything until next year. :P

Pretty much.

Support the WIi U bro!

MAybe that'll give Ubisoft some time to see how the Wii U does, and whether or no we get the Crew. I can hope.

on a serious note i am kind of happy they delayed it. They now have more time to work on it and make it better. There are also to many games coming out so this makes it easier on me :P

Well its nothing like what happened with Rayman Legends so I don't know why you had to bring it up. These are multi platform games from the start and The Crew isn't even being released on the Wii U so its hardly the same.

But Watch_Dogs was delayed a month before release. There is some relevance there.

I wouldn't doubt that, especially according to this.

I thought the same thing, too many big games coming out and some may suffer a bit . I also think one reason why DKTF was also pushed back, so SM3DW and it can have their own push.

Worth it.

VDdevgames twitter:

VD Dev is proud to welcome a new member, Frederic ZIMMER (Technical Lead on Watch Dogs !). Well now we are ... 3 ;) ;) ;)

I thought Ubisoft detsroyed Velez and Dubail... But they escaped, liberated important ubi talent, and emerged from the smoke with new powerful engine technology to make up for ubis destructive squandering of their last technology.

Zimmer at vd-devgames >>>>>>>>>>>> anything ubisoft would let him do.

I hear that the current gen version looks awful so I wouldn't doubt a cancelation of current gen versions... I really was wanting this to be a launch title I think this hurts sales.

Sales of what the new consoles ? Hardly. If that's what you're saying then no it won't.
