VGC: Ubisoft willing to delay games if next-gen consoles are postposed, WDL next-gen launch title
- Thread starter Toumari
- Start date
But as far as we know, both companies are still aiming for this year. Even if it's a 'soft' launch for early adopters.
Yeah this is the perfect outcome. I was willing to wait a few months to get it on PS5, but this makes the wait much easier.
Now I wonder what this means for Assassin's Creed Vikings. I guess it won't be a launch title?
Wonder if it will look as good as the original Watch Dogs reveal :)
id hope so! It was supposed to be out this march. My series x launch day line up is looking like forza, halo, And watchdogs. Ill get ac if it comes out this year but i get the feeling that watchdogs shoved it to next year
Fuck man, damn I don't want fucking Watch Dogs over AC Vikings. Jeez what a bad call Ubi. Just push Watch Dogs even further back.
If they don't officially announce anything, we don't officially know anyhting
Yeah that would be a good game to fuck around with on next gen consoles at launch. I don't even like Watch Dogs but I'd be into that game depending on what else is ready for PS5 launch.
I always assumed they're planning to release both this fall. AC could be september, WD november.
If WDL is a next-gen launch title then I am guessing the next AC would release either early October (like Odyssey) or Q1 next year.
I was actually looking forward to Legion this year but I was wondering if they could pull their crazy premise off. If they get more time to get it right eventually it's okay I guess.
Nah, not really. I mean sure it has to come out sometime but it has been very quiet surrounding the game for a long time now. Plus I definitely thought the new AC releasing at the end of the year was a given, now it doesn't seem so sure anymore.
This seems true for Ubisoft, but not for every company. Japan doesn't seem to be adapting well to working from home as an example.
Agreed. Sacrifice a game from their one franchise I don't really give a shit about in order to further polish & strip out the samey-ness from all the games I actually do care about (Assassin's Creed, Watch Dogs, Far Cry, Gods and Monsters, etc.)? Couldn't have turned out better!
That's true. I'm not expecting EVERY title to launch as planned. But if enough of the heavy hitters are ready, the systems should launch as planned and we'll have enough to play on them. Exciting!
Out of curiosity, do you know why Japan in particular is having a harder time adapting to WFH compared to companies in other countries?
So do they mean that the game will come out on both PS4 & PS5/Xbox One & Xbox Series when the next-gen system is available? Or do they mean that the game will be available at launch when the next-gen systems release, but maybe already be available on PS4/Xbox One prior to that.
Launching at the same time on both PS4/Xbox One and PS5/Xbox Series X.
From what I've been reading they seem pretty old fashioned in some cases and still rely heavily on paper. CERO (the Japanese games ratings board) had to entirely shut as they rely so heavily on paperwork.
That's because they just realized no one makes fax machines anymore when they tried to order hundreds of them to give to wfh staff.
What OP said, they are still very traditional in a lot of things. Which hurts for Home Office situations.
i know, ill take any good news at this point, so this is a relief for now
Ubisoft is the company with probably the most international studios and already has a culture of making games from several of these studios at the same time. Ubisoft Milan, Ubisoft Singapore, Ubisoft Belgrade ...
That already created network of collaboration between studios must have helped them to be one of the companies that most easily adapt to WFH. They have a flexibility that other studios and companies may not have thanks to being so decentralized.
Cool thanks, that is very interesting and a way longer wait indeed. Maybe this means that the new Assassin's Creed will launch before Watch Dogs Legion?
Yeah, it makes sense for Ubisoft to release at least one big game near the next gen launch.
I don't really care for Watch Dogs Legion so I hope the new Assassin's Creed will release also soon.
I don't really care for Watch Dogs Legion so I hope the new Assassin's Creed will release also soon.
It will likely still happen, but maybe they release that earlier then? Ubisoft really likes to launch games in that early October window & maybe they were afraid that Cyberpunk would eat Watch Dogs alive on that spot so they put AC there instead?
