If the Rayman Legends delay was like being stabbed, this Watch Dogs delay announcement is like being run over after you just left the hospital.
Indeed these things happen every now and then but it doesn’t make them any less painful. Watch Dogs was set to be one of the biggest games of the year and no doubt a system seller for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One but now you’ll have to reconsider your launch options.
The news comes straight from 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.
I’m sure everyone is pretty pissed off regarding the announcement, I myself had a PlayStation 4 Watch Dogs bundle pre-ordered at Amazon but to quote a legend within the industry.
