6pm Fridays are news dump timelines…frame this as a good thing!

Agreed, Lol. Everyone knows Friday is where you dump bad news and while a delay sucks, it should be pushed as a good thing that Microsoft is finally for once delaying a game due to scheduling reasons instead of slamming everything into one quarter. IIRC Nintendo is well known amongst the industry to purposely hold back games to launch them in better months.
Jamming Avowed, which will be seen as a new IP to the majority of people, between Dragon Age and Assassin's Creed, will be like when Titanfall 2 was slotted between COD and Battlefield, Lol. Plus Microsoft already has enough stuff in that season, from 3rd parties to Game Pass releases to exclusives. Microsoft should try to slot new IPs into first half and established IPs into holiday seasons.
Avowed will find more success in February than November.
