But there’s no reason Ubisoft can’t still deliver what they hoped to do with this game.” The game was originally down to release in November, in time for the launch of Xbox One and PS4, but will now see daylight in spring 2014. Ubisoft has also pushed back its next gen open world racer The Crew from mid to late 2014.
