The Watch Dogs development team announced today that the game has been delayed until Spring 2014. Here’s the statement:
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 weve 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 cant wait to see you in Chicago next spring. We are confident youll love this game as much as we love working on it.
The game was scheduled to hit next-gen consoles on November 19 in North America and November 22 in Europe. Ubisoft has also pushed back the release of The Crew. The game didn’t have a specific date yet, but was expected to be coming in the first quarter of 2014.
