One 2013's most anticipated video games Ubisoft's Watch Dogs gets delayed again!
But don't fret because there is a bit of a good news and bad news. The good news is that Watch Dogs will be released for both the PlayStation and Xbox consoles as well as for the PC. the bad news is that the struggling Nintendo product Wii U will be delayed and a release date has not been confirmed.
During a conference call discussing its earnings for the third fiscal quarter, Ubisoft announced that, following last year's delay, the release of Watch Dogs continues to be planned for its first quarter of the 2014-15 fiscal year, which runs from April 1, 2014 through June 30. That release is planned for Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC however Wii U being the notable absence on that list.
The reason for this is because Ubisoft doesn't plan on releasing the Wii U version until "a later date," according to Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot. No specifics were provided for just how long Wii U owners will have to wait for Watch Dogs after its release on other platforms.
"We made the difficult decision to further delay the release of Watch Dogs on Wii U to focus the team's resources where they could have the broadest possible benefit for both our customers and Ubisoft," - Yves Guillemot, Ubisoft CEO
Watch Dogs was intended to be a next-gen launch game, but was delayed to spring 2014 a month before the new console launches. At the time of the delay, Guillemot said, "In a world of mega-blockbusters, we have now come to the conclusion that the team needed additional time to realize the game's full potential."
