Those hoping for some special new releases to start off 2018 will have to wait. Both Far Cry 5 and The Crew 2 have been delayed.
Ubisoft announced today that both Far Cry 5 and The Crew 2 have been delayed. Far Cry 5 will now launch on March 27, a month after its original February 27 release date, while The Crew 2 will now hit the open road in the first half of Ubisoft's 2018-2019 fiscal year instead of on March 16.
"For Far Cry 5, the extra time will allow the team at Ubisoft Montreal to make some additional improvements that will bring the best, most ambitious Far Cry experience in line with the team’s original vision. We’re excited for fans to join the Resistance in Hope County, Montana against the Project at Eden’s Gate cult. Tune in to the Ubiblog tomorrow, December 8th at 10pm PST to get the newest look at Far Cry 5...Meanwhile, The Crew 2 development team at Ivory Tower will use the next several months to perform additional playtests, gather player feedback, and continue working towards delivering an ambitious open-world racing experience that meets the team’s and our players’ expectations." according to Ubisoft.
This isn't a bad thing, in fact, it could be seen as a positive action. More time means more development opportunity to fix the games and ensure a polished experience.
