Well this news is going to do wonders to improve their image and to help them rebuild lost confidence with the consumer... Watching Ubi in the last month reminds me of the Sideshow Bob gif where no matter where he turns, he keeps stepping on rakes.

Maybe they'll remove all the sweet baby inc crap that im sure is in the game..

SDuck8d ago

not enough time to rewrite the whole game

TheNamelessOne8d ago (Edited 8d ago )

It's almost to the point it actually makes sense to maybe scrap this game altogether. Even the mainline Ubi games are very hit and miss - both reception and sales-wise - and this game already has stink written all over it and very little consumer faith in the product.

Shit… that is not a confident move… lol

"Hey guys you know how we've delayed the game because of quality concerns and we need all hands on deck as a singular unit to polish the hell out of our game before our new launch date?"

"Yeah..."

"Well we to make it harder for ourselves so some of you will be doing a brand new separate co-op game for the main game. Have fun and try to balance the teams out well enough"

I swear Ubisoft are idiots.

Why not just start developing this after the main game has launched and everything is in good shape like what Sucker Punch did for Ghost of Tsushima with its Legends mode.

Tacoboto28d ago

Sucker Punch's lead designer of the co-op mode is on the PS Blog saying that the co-op mode started design and development in 2016...

-Foxtrot28d ago

Well if true then I guess Sucker Punch are just that good and well managed

Point still stands about Shadows though, you’d think they would just concentrate on the main game for now, get help to get it out there.

RaidenBlack28d ago

You didn't read the article did you? Only the headline.
The co-op has been in development for a long time and has no relation to the delay.
Its a post launch feature with no set release date.

-Foxtrot28d ago (Edited 28d ago )

Not really. I saw this on Reddit a day or so before it appeared on here and it didn’t mention the extra info about how long it was in development, no “sources tell me”.

Anyway all this is still a rumour, who’s to say it was in development for that long.

If you’ve delayed something over quality issues then the best thing to do is to postpone it and let them help the main team polish the base game then worrying about something extra.

@-Foxtrot
First off, this is Henderson's article, he seems to get these leaks right.
And 2nd, maybe they have halted the co-op development for now ... who knows?
Henderson's report is not related to the current delay. He just got to know, that a major undisclosed feature is/was also in development. (Similar to Tsushima)
[It may release or might not, if not for the leak, we might've never known]

Local and online Co op would be amazing

Chocoburger28d ago

I actually liked AC: Unity and its CO-OP mode. I also liked AC: Bro through Black Flag vs. modes as well. They were unique, and not just another shooter / racer / sports online game, something that stood out, but not a lot of people gave it a chance

As much crap as I give Ubishit in these comments sections, AC online modes were a lot of fun. But those were older, better games, the newer AC games have worse single player modes, and I'm willing to bet worse multi-player modes as well.

jznrpg8d ago

Co-op sounds interesting but will it be a seperate thing or co/op of the main game?
