Sorry Far Cry Fans: Upcoming Ubisoft Games Have Been Delayed

We Can Wait A Little Bit Longer…Right?

It’s doubtful that any future Far Cry game will manage to top the brilliance that was Far Cry 3, mainly due to it being so hard to imagine getting a villain as captivating as Vaas. That being said, we’re eager to see Ubisoft knock their latest venture out of the park. It’s already got a lot of fans talking, since the antagonists appear to be an echo of the current political climate. Albeit a far more extreme one who apparently like to carve up their own bodies and drown their victims while preaching scripture.

Unfortunately, it seems that we’ll have to wait a little bit longer before we set out for Hope County, as Far Cry 5, The Crew 2 and other Ubisoft titles have been delayed for a little while longer.

According to an article on Gamespot –

Ubisoft has announced Far Cry 5’s release date has been delayed. The open-world first-person shooter will now launch on March 27, 2018, instead of the previously announced February 27, 2018 date, which constitutes a delay of one month.

In addition to this, The Crew 2’s release has been moved from March 16, 2018 to the first half of Ubisoft’s 2018-19 fiscal year, which means it will launch between April 2018 and September 2018. One other Ubisoft franchise game, which has not yet been revealed, has been moved to its fiscal year 2019-20.

According to Ubisoft, this is because the publisher is “investing more time in the development” of these games. “This decision is in line with our strategic vision of developing even more engaging and higher quality experiences for gamers,” said Christine Burgess-Quémard, Ubisoft’s worldwide studios executive director. “Taking more time with Assassin’s Creed Origins enabled our talented development team to fully express their creative vision. As expected, this had a very positive impact on the game’s quality and largely participated to its commercial success. Taking a similar approach, we have decided to invest additional development time in three upcoming games.”

Let’s hope that the wait is worth it and these new releases really manage to elevate their respective franchises.
