Assassin’s Creed: Unity will release a whole two weeks later than originally planned, Ubisoft has announced – it’s now out on 11th November in the US and 13th November in Europe, Australia, the Middle East and Africa, with details for other regions presumably to follow.
The delay “will help ensure that the quality of the game meets fans’ – and the team’s – lofty expectations”, according to a release, and “has no impact on the company’s full year financial targets”.
“As we got close to the finish, we realized we were near the target but still needed a bit more time to hone some of the details to make sure Assassin’s Creed Unity is exceptional,” observed Vincent Pontbriand, senior producer at Ubisoft.
“We sincerely appreciate players’ commitment to the game and their patience. It’s just a couple more weeks. And it’s going to be worth it.”
Ubisoft will also release Assassin’s Creed: Rogue for Xbox 360 from 11th November worldwide. Australia can play the last-gen, but thoroughly lovely-looking, AC from 13th November.
