Watch_Dogs Pushed Back To 2014

Watch_Dogs Delayed

Chase Burks October 2013

With Watch_Dogs being delayed until spring 2014 many are wondering if this was such a great move. It's claimed by an Ubisoft spokesperson that they need a little more time to fine tune the game and polish those last minute details.

'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.'

Although this has stirred some controversy in the gaming industry, it can be a great tactic to get a few more players interested in the title before the release. If more companies would take the time to check and recheck and continue to fine tune their games it could increase sales. Time will only tell.

This has also affected the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One pre-order bundles, those that ordered the Watch_Dogs Bundle will have to wait to receive the game until Spring 2014. For those that have pre-ordered you will most likely be able to substitute a new release if you so incline. Keep watch as we get closer to Spring 2014 as there has not been an official release date in Spring.
