The Division delayed into 2015, source suggests – rumour

The Division could have been delayed into 2015, according to an anonymous source from within Ubisoft Massive. This could be utter bollocks though, so make of this what you will while we investigate further.

We’re currently on the phone / email / carrier pigeon to our entire Ubisoft contact list on this one, so bear with us. Our local rep said that the publisher won’t comment on rumour or speculation, but we’re digging deeper.

Speaking with GameReactor, the supposed source said, “The game engine works well, it is not clear but works well. Actual game development has barely begun, however. The fact that Ubisoft issued a 2014 release date seems laughable if I’ll be completely honest, we will never have time to release The Division this year. This is a big project, we have very far to go …”

If true, it follows Ubisoft’s delay of Watch Dogs and The Crew, as well as the entire restarting of Rainbow Six: Patriots.

Again, we’re looking into this right now to either confirm or debunk the rumour. Hang tight.

Yeah, neither did I.

It looks pretty huge.

If this is true it would be devastating for the new consoles. I can't imagine how they would survive without an online shooter on their consoles. Oh wait....

looking at WatchDogs, even a 2016 release would be great for the Division.

That'd be a shame. I'm not personally all that bothered about the game myself but I think it would be better for the health of both XB1 and PS4 to have these big new IPs out as soon as possible.

Also makes me suspect that Ubi are overstretching themselves. Watchdogs was already pushed back, presumably AC5 is cooking somewhere plus there's The Crew, the new-gen Rayman Legends port and even Rainbow 6: Patriots possibly hiding away somewhere. Also Far Cry 4 perhaps?

I know some of that was speculation but still, sounds like a lot of very big games even for Ubisoft. Of course this may be rubbish but there's still the possibility that this is the case

Not surprised one bit. this game looks pretty ambitious so take all the time you need (just not last guardian like time) to make sure its perfect

Its Ubisoft. This could be so it can be ported to the 3DS because the PS4 and Xbox One are "under-preforming".

Or I could just still be bitter about Rayman.

Ubisoft already has Watch Dogs and Assassins Creed this year, probably best to save The Division for next year. Hopefully they'll have another Rayman by then.

Not surprising and expected to be honest.
