Assassin's Creed Unity Delayed

[VinWarrior]

The hit title Assassin's Creed Unity marketed to release October 28th is now releasing 2 weeks later on November 11th, the same day as it's counterpart on previous generation Assassin's Creed Rogue, another Ubisoft title The Crew, and the largely anticipated Halo: The Master Chief Collection.

 

It's no secret that companies like to compete, especially in the gaming world, and that's why the news about Assassin's Creed Unity's delay sort of makes sense. IGN.com reports that Ubisoft announced the delay today, slating the release for November 11th, 2014. The same day as Assassin's Creed Rogue and The Crew, and some time near Far Cry 4. While it could be understood that Ubisoft would set the date to compete with Halo: The Master Chief Collection, it makes little sense to compete with other games under your belt, two of them releasing on the same day. As well the game now has a Day One patch, what the patch is for is currently unknown. The dates for AC Unity and AC Rogue are also aligning in Europe and other countries where the releases usually happen later, as both games are now slated to release on the 13th.

 

 

What do you think of this news, are you disappointed Unity is coming later? Let me know below! Thank you very much for reading!

Im surprised they delayed it. Id say they are definitely competing with the MCC. Nice article EK.

I did not expect this to happen, if anything I expected to hear about a Far cry four delay.

 

Thanks for bringing this news to my attention Kenway.

AC Or MCC.

My brain.

Prediction: The Crew will get delayed. Ubisoft doesn't want to lose that much money.

 

I'll get MCC first then Unity a bit later.

heh 'competition' the MCC isn't being released everywhere on the 11th. the delay is probably to fix some minor things that could possibly hinder the flow of the game.

I just checked EB Games NZ website, these are the dates:

AC Rogue 11/11/14

AC Unity    13/11/14

Halo MCC  11/11/14
