The Division officially delayed to 2015

Tomclancy-thedivision.ubi.com:

Agents,

Today we announced that Tom Clancy's The Division will be available in 2015 for Xbox One, PS4 and PC.

Working on The Division is a once in a lifetime opportunity for all of us at Massive, Reflections, and Red Storm Entertainment. We are creating something we are really proud of and we don't want to compromise on quality. We are going to release the game when it's ready.

[XiSasukeUchiha]

Ahh, damn it A another one !

[BiggCMan]

I'm trying to understand why anyone thought this game would come out this year when we don't know anything about it?

We had an outstanding gameplay reveal last E3, and that was it. Some minor articles here and there about it, and people thought it would come this year??

Come on now, I think we know more about Agent than this game haha. Kidding of course, but trying to make a point. I was never anticipating this game for 2014, but I still highly anticipate it in general cuz it looks fantastic.

[CYCLEGAMER]

Exactly....I was already expecting this, now I think Quantum Break and The Order will be pushed to 2015 as well....SMH

[truefan1]

This is great news, as an XB1 owner I know I'll already have Halo 2, and Sunset Overdrive to fulfill my multiplayer needs. Heck I'm even excited for COD. Destiny might even be good. The Division will be great for next year.

[alexkoepp]

Just use the standard formula of original release date + 6 months, works every time.

[Kingthrash360]

my emoji level of surpised.... -_- ....
but on the bright side delays make for a better game...most times.

[badz149]

Another game delayed to make way for another Assassin's Creed! What a surprise...NOT!

[TheGreatAndPowerful]

The developers stated this months ago..it was Ubisoft that tried to push for 2014 release.

published Jan 7th.

"The Division won't see release in 2014"

[juggulator]

They had no shame in delaying it because we knew it was going to happen. The Order will be delayed until 2015 as well.

[levian]

Just like that most of the games I was excited for are no longer coming out this year

[Salooh]

Never expected it for this year lol .

My prediction is Q2 . The witcher 3 in Feb and rockstar game in march . So won't expect it to compete with these two games :P .

[Dee_91]

Generation of the delays.
Prettier games= longer development.
I was expecting to hear a lot about this game at e3.

[Rickgrimes95]

No suprise to me

[Palitera]

Golden rule: If it wasn't delayed, it will be.

[solidjun5]

This is pretty much Ubisoft's MO. Announce a game early, give a tentative date of "20XX;" delay the game. Rinse and repeat.

Besides, there was hardly any information on this game, outside the E3 reveal. I seriously thought it was coming this year.

[joab777]

I wish someone would hire me to do PR. I will do it for 1/4 the price. I will release teaser trailers, do documentary type updates to keep hype steady and as soon as I know the release date, I will announce to the world that its 6 months after that.

As we draw closer, I will release more info, hit all the social sites, keep it in ppl's minds and then if we actually hit the target date, everyone will be ecstatic that its coming early...NOT BEING DELAYED

Its like my dad. He is always late but when u ask where he is, instead of telling the truth, he says he is closer than he is in hopes it keeps u happy. Same thing. Instead he should say he is further behind just as these games should. Then, if its delayed, its actually on time.

[DaGR8JIBRALTAR]

Who didn't see that one coming though...

[ArchangelMike]

I never had any expectation that this game would release 2014. They gave no indication that it was even near release.

On the flip side, it's looking like 2015 will be a good year for big AAA games, starting with The Witcher.

[Jughead3416]

One of my highly anticipated games too, but this holiday season is getting crowded. Shadow of mordor, driveclub, assassins creed unity, far cry 4, batman, dragon age, call of duty, alien isolation, and what ever else hasn't been announced yet

[scootscottskeet93]

I feel like delays are usually for the best but it's starting to get ridiculous how many games have actually been delayed this year.

[Magicite]

Delaysoft or Dubisoft.

[mogwaii]

YES! "Dubisoft" that right there is what i shall refer to them as from now on. You coined a term.....a bit like my "microsoftcocks" tm. :D

[choujij]

Damn it, Ubi...

*Sorry, the rest of my comment has been delayed.*

[Future_2015]

OMFG Ubisoft you actual *****

[MYDEATH21]

It happens so to the best of them. Which check really sucks

[rivencleft]

I know right? That sucks because this game looks amazing, but once again I guess it gives them time to either polish it, or downgrade it *cough* Watch Dogs, kidding.

[frostypants]

Who didn't see this coming?

[hellzsupernova]

THIS IS BULLSHIT UBISOFT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You had one job!
Im so annoyed by this but i would prefer a game that works. And i understand why it happened but damn im gutted

[3-4-5]

2015 is going to be epic.

[CertifiedGamer]

I blame the delay on Sony and Microsoft. If Sony would have built a system that could have ran the E3 demo of watch_dogs or the division on real time, then developers wouldn't be going back to the drawing board due to the reason that they have to figure out other ways to make the impossible possible. I believe PS4 can achieve the division graphics in desperate measures. If they implement a mandatory online requirement on the games and use some of the gaikai graphics above the PS4 graphics. Same thing with X1 but I know that will not happen.

[DC777]

Figured this would happen. This game looks way to good to run on any of these consoles without some major issues.

[-Foxtrot]

Ubisoft announce some of their big games way too early.

They couldn't even hang onto Far Cry 4 for E3.

[ExitToExisT]

At least they will release FC4 6 months after announcing. Wish the same would have happened to Watch Dogs and Division.

[GusHasGas]

Lmao how much do you want to bet that Far Cry 4 will be delayed too

[lonelyplayer]

Bad news. This game looks good.

[Grown Folks Talk]

We all knew it was coming, but hoped we were wrong. Guess this means Rainbow Six 4th quarter 2016.

[bcrazy18]

I would rather them release the game without any bugs, etc. This game looks too good to not have it be perfect. Kudos to Ubisoft for doing the right thing although everyone wants this game lol.

[GamingSinceThe80s]

So you think this mean's their won't be any bug's just because of a delay?Well if you believe that, I'v got a bridge I'd like to sell you.lol

[andibandit]

Without bugs huh?

Trust me every game has bugs, looks like you'll be waiting till the end of time for that one.

[bcrazy18]

It's people takes someone's comment out of porpotion. I didn't mean bug free entirely lol I know there won't be an entirely bug free game but with the delay, they'll be able to minimize the amount of bugs. Trying to post a positive comment about this news and still people find a way to turn it negatively. Unreal lol

[F4sterTh4nFTL]

Publishers should announce games when they are 90% complete.

[kingdom18]

Or ya know they are actually being worked on *cough cough FFXV cough cough*

[HappyWithOneBubble]

Agree like Last Guardian was announce in 2009 now it's 2014 that's 5 years ago. I wish they never announced it now and I lost hope for it.

[Salooh]

But it made me relieved knowing that mirror's edge 2 is being made. Same would happen for tenchu , ape escape and dark cloud . I don't mind for these kind of games , they have low chance being developed so it makes us suffer asking our selfs for years if they are being made or not , i don't like that. It makes me sad xP...

I agree with the rest of the games though ^^

[polymacon]

better then rushing it out broken. Ubisoft take as much time as you need.

[Grown Folks Talk]

The Anti-Watch_Dogs.

[tuglu_pati]

Yep just like they did with Watch Dogs. Delay it just so that they can hit Dat 796/900p sweet spot.

[DJMarty]

tuglu_pati - sweetspot, they need a miracle on X1 to hit 796p/15fps....lol

[badz149]

Yeah tuglu, that's 4 extra 'p' the Xbone is not getting! LOL

[Palitera]

Well, you forgot to consider that they are blatantly lying about the release dates.

They're doing this to help generating hype in their first announcement.

Or what, would people be so excited at a game announced for two or three years later?

Another one: Is this simply a coincidence that almost every AAA game is delayed now?

Lies. Obvious lies.

[kevinsheeks]

This they knew ahead of time these games weren't ready they just simply wanted to get those consoles of shelves

[ArbitorChief]

I'd rather they polish the game and release the game with more content and in a working state. I'm looking at you EA and Battlefield 4.

[jonboi24]

Well it isn't an Ubisoft game unless it gets delayed.

[Starbucks_Fan]

And people are surprised?

[xDHAV0K24x]

take your time!!

[choujij]

But hurry up.

[SITH]

But not too fast.

[Majin-vegeta]

Looks like BF4 was a wake up call to some of these big publishers.

[kevinsheeks]

No it wasn't trust me delays aren't for consumer benefit at all -_-

You think these companies learn from past mistakes?

[shivvy24]

Typical of ubisoft, announcing games way too early

[sameold]

I did not see that coming... (sarcasm)

[N8]

Saw this coming a mile away. More than a mile. Since they announced it .

[pompombrum]

I'm both disappointed and encouraged by it, I'd rather they take the time and release the best possible game than pull an EA and rush the release.

[mike32UK]

Knew this was coming. Can't say I'm surprised

[Lionalliance]

I don't mind, better take their time fixing what they need to fix.

[Errefus]

i didnt expect it this year, i hope they announce a new rainbow six game. its been to long..

[Psychotica]

It's like a fine meal, I rather wait until it's fully cooked. Can't wait to play it though, looks really good.

[iRobotGaming]

Noooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Nunchez]

Not really surprising. I mean come on wasn't somebody expecting this?

[iRobotGaming]

Some things are just too good to be true, lol

[iRobotGaming]

Well, we'll have enough time to enjoy Watch Dogs.

[Meltic]

lol knew it. Next time ubisoft dont make an announcment when too deliever a game. Just say later rather then 2014...

[Darth Gamer]

I'm actually quite fine with this. This was and still is my most anticipated game but that gives me more time to finish the backlog of games that I already have and actually makes me look forward to Destiny a little bit more. Between Titanfall, Final Fantasy 14 and Destiny, I will be quite content. Cheers

[pabadamus1]

This was not a surprise. I think anyone with a shred of sense saw this coming.

[GamingSinceThe80s]

Man with all these delay's Sony and Microsoft mite as well have waited untill 2016 to release these new console's.These thing's are going to be antique's in the electronic's world before there is anything that couldn't be done on a last gen system truly worth playing.

[LethalButterfly]

no surprise, seen this one coming a mile off

[Chat37]

Do you really think ubisoft ( The division ) wants to go up against rocksteady ( arkham knight ) during the holiday season? Bad enough there putting unity up against the arkham knight. They learned their lesson with GTA 5 came out this is a business decision and a pretty smart one I think. This is better for us I think this makes all these AAA developers put out the best gaming experience for us so if it takes a few more weeks I can wait there's nothing like play a good enjoyable game.

[modesign]

another one bites the 2014 dust

[KinjoTakemura]

Ohhh Youuuu, Mother******!!! I keep telling myself that developers are now taking pride in their work and don't want to release a substandard product, but the delay still irks that hell out me.

[MilkMan]

No surprise. In fact this just made me some money back in the office. Thanks Ubi!

[SonyMontana]

So looking forward to this game, but saw this coming. I have high hopes for this IP and hopefully the extra time will make it that much better.

[Hazmat13]

the reason i get next gen consoles are getting delayed left and right. the next chapter for games won't come out cause it keeps getting delayed.

[kewlkat007]

Knew it..

[heisenberguk]

1st the delay, then the downgrade!!

[Npugz7]

Fuck me!!! Another delay! Delay after delay and this one hurts the most!!!!!

[jmc8888]

Geez, when are they going to get around to making Patriots if they keep pushing some games back and adding AC titles?

[jhoward585]

Another game pushed back. I have a strange feeling MS is behind this.

Devs are waiting to get their hands on DX12.

[generic-user-name]

Knew it would happen, and it's good that it's they don't want to compromise but I'm still annoyed.

The Witcher 3 and The Division were 2 games I really wanted this year.

[LakerGamerEnthusiast]

Now we wait... Just Like Watch Dogs..... All while knowing the graphical controversy that came with Watch Dogs,(I know that's died down a bit now)

And hope nothing of that sort comes close to this game. :(

[Relientk77]

Not surprising at all

[e-p-ayeaH]

I was expecting this since Watch Dogs is gonna be released this year.

[jay2]

nooooooooooo :(

[josephayal]

there's no rush take all the time you need

[aLiEnViSiToR]

Didn't that say this few months ago that it might be delayed O_o

[beotron]

yeah lol who didn't see this one coming...

[Skate-AK]

I was saying this forever haha.

[SoulSercher620]

Did they even announce a 2014 release? If not then it shouldn't even be considered a delay.

[amnalehu]

How is this news? They already said it wasn't coming out until 2015. Late pass issued.

[FAT MAN GO BOOM]

I was hoping... but did not think it was going to see 2014.

oh well the more time it has to bake the better the game...
