Ubisoft has announced that Watch_Dogs Legion, Rainbow Six Quarantine and Gods & Monsters have all been delayed. This delay is mainly due to the underperformance of The Division 2 and Ghost Recon: Breakpoint.
According to the publisher, these three games will now release in fiscal 2020-21.
Yves Guillemot, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer, said:
“We have decided to postpone the releases of Gods & Monsters, Rainbow Six Quarantine and Watch_Dogs Legion until 2020-21. While each of these games already has a strong identity and high potential, we want our teams to have more development time to ensure that their respective innovations are perfectly implemented so as to deliver optimal experiences for players. This decision will have a very significant impact on our financial results for this fiscal year and goes against our recent successes in building a more stable development model. However, it is in line with our strategy to maximize the future value of our brands for the longterm benefit of our employees, players and shareholders. We expect it to have a positive impact on our financial performance as from 2020-21.”
The Watch_Dogs Legion team has released an official statement about the state of the game. While it did not comment on the delay, it did claim that it’s doing its best to offer a quality product.

While he is a die-hard PC gamer, his gaming roots can be found on consoles. John loved – and still does – the 16-bit consoles, and considers SNES to be one of the best consoles. Still, the PC platform won him over consoles. That was mainly due to 3DFX and its iconic dedicated 3D accelerator graphics card, Voodoo 2.

This might be the beginning of the end for Ubisoft.
This greedy french fries need a hard lesson so they can change
Don’t get my hopes up.
I’m hyped for Watchdogs, so i’m a bit disappointed. But my biggest concerns having seen the investors are upset that GR wasn’t the cash cow they’d hoped it would be, is that they’re delaying these games to retroactively shoehorn micro-transactions into these future games.
“I’m hyped for Watchdogs”

Why? Lol. I have played WD2 so much. I loved the game. The fact I’m English, and WD:L is set in London is cool as we don’t get many games set over here.
“I’m hyped for Watchdogs…”
I’m sorry. No, no, I’m not sorry it was delayed…..
Classic PR bullcrap, if they really wanted to do something right, they will have to step back, to the white board and start with the design from there, and we all know they will not gonna do that, it’s too big time and money cost for them.
They gonna do some minor changes, but the games will be again the same at the core and design like rest of they games.
One of the biggest mistake from GR: breakpoint is online only single player…and usual Ubisoft pirate paranoia..
“we want our teams to have more development time to ensure that their respective innovations are perfectly implemented so as to deliver optimal experiences for players.”
That sounds great until you realize “innovations” is literally the word Ubisoft always uses to mean microtransactions.
It’s probably some financial shenanigans about which fiscal year the games end up affecting instead of any actual development stuff.
Word on the street says that Uplay+ will gonna have -40% permament price drop, bcs only around 15-20% people returned to the service after they FREE month.
LOL.
It’s planned to by like 6,99 there are also plans for Uplay+ premium for 9.99
Let’s not forget the inevitable Uplay+ Premium Plus, and then Uplay+ Premium Plus Squared, and finally, Uplay+ Premium Plus Squared Diamond. Ubisoft, always giving “choices”.
> we want our teams to have more development time to ensure that their respective innovations are perfectly implemented so as to deliver optimal experiences for players.
That’s some Grade A bulls*it. They delayed them so they can release them as next gen’s launch titles. they won’t even waste 1 minute of their time to polish their games like ever, it’s on hold so “Next Gen” can start with these garbage titles so they can ship more consoles.
In all fairness, I think they would have them ready for next gen regardless really. Not sure it’s the primary reason for their delays. I don’t think it was coincidence that this was news, shortly after them acknowledging their piles of dogs**t “games”, failed. Woops, sorry, I meant “under performed”. Maybe they pulled an EA, and “innovated too much”. 😛
They had no problem crapping out AC’s for the previous generational transition, so I’m not sure it would be an issue here either.
Hahahaha. Ya, I guessing having all their turd “franchises” bomb, has given Ubis**t, a moment of pause.
Hey, Vivendi, you still out there? 😉
