Ubisoft delays three titles set for '08

Posted on January 2nd, 2008 at 21:22 EDT

Ubisoft has announced that they will be delaying three games in the 2008 fiscal year. The upcoming titles that will see a push back are Far Cry 2, Tom Clancy's Endwar, and Brothers In Arms: Hell's Highway. There are still no set release dates for the titles listed, but we can expect that all will be after April (which is when the 2008 fiscal year begins).

Apparently, the delay is due to monetary concerns and not the fact that the development teams can't finish their respective games. Ubisoft stated that they want to "fill the shelves" to help boost their revenue and up the numbers that will show on their financial reports which are due on February 23rd.

Assassin's Creed, the latest hit from Ubisoft, has already surpassed the three million mark - its inital expectation upon release. Ubisoft now has its sights set on a whopping five million.

Far Cry 2 and Tom Clancy's Endwar are being developed by Ubisoft while Brothers in Arms: Hell's Highway is still being developed by Gearbox. Both Endwar and Hell's Highway will be utilizing Unreal Engine 3.

I don't think AC will sell 5 million. More delays isn't surprising anymore. The only game I want out of those three is He**'s Highway. That game looks great.

@Darkblade1 they didn't say just the PS3 versions...  They didn't which version's... So just calm down. Everyone just calm down.. I would rather have a delayed finished game rather than a hurried up crappy game. So just get off the delay thing.. Sch!t happens people...

They are talking about the titles. It is safe understanding that they mean for all hardware involved.

Not surprised...but makes sense from a company's POV. In the end, it's all about the money and honestly, if that was the case I wouldn't mind then.

I guess Ubisoft's heads got stuck up their ***** after the success of ACreed. This is really lame. And they're delaying all versions not just the PS3 versions.

FarCry 2 will be good (not as awesome as Crysis) but very good. This is one of my top 10 most anticipated titles for 2008 just below Left 4 Dead, Insecticide, Fallout 3 and Spore.

I think developers should stop throwing release dates around like candy. Wait until you can commit to a release date before you get our hopes up. I feel like someone's holding a twinkie in front of me and pulling it away at the last second over and over again. For god's sake, at one point I believe H***'s Highway was supposed to be released in the fall of 06. This is bulls***.

lol.. Ubisoft likes to shovel thing around.. wonder what it must be like to be a developing house underneath their umbrella. So.. you are done? well let's launch in Nov..no..no Dec..nah..February then...? nah lets go for March that is a nice month (lol)!

As stated, the delay is due to "monetary concerns". It's not surprising at all tbh due to the production of some games runs into millions (close, if not surpassing the movie industry). Delaying a game until the fiscal year is common practice as the sales will look good on their books etc.

brothers in arms delayed again??!! I should be playing it for over 3 months now!

AC has sold in excess of 3 million units?! I guess it's true, then - people really do care more about pretty graphics than gameplay. Remember people - no matter how much you polish it, a turd is still a turd.

Im only interested in Far Cry 2 and Endwar. Defo not Brothers in Arms!

I say less games and more quality.  You're starting to disapoint me ubi.

psn id: gingo...i'm just glad Haze isn't included in these three games because the threee mentioned i couldn't care less about but hopefully haze comes out soon

Well,i don't care about any of these games so this doesn't affect me.

Sounds more like Corporate greed!!!  This is just a financial stragedy, so that it doesn't affect their taxation stuff at the end of the financial year!  I'm Haze isn't on the list, but then again who knows when they'll release it?!?  Maybe when they reach the 5 million sales of AC!!!  :o

I don't think AC will reach 5 million unless they somehow pull some deal or bundle in demo's for some of there upcoming games; which again I highly doubt they will consider.

I can definitely see AC crossing the 5 million mark...in 2009.

I finally got a chance to play it on my girlfriend's PS3 and what little I played made it seem worth the $70 for the Collector's Edition (Yeah, I'm a sucker for those.)

well we get haze, here hopefully this month. Haze will be awesome, and im looking forward to far cry 2 , it will be unbeleivable. I think it looks funner than crysis. Also Brothers and arms will never get released.
