Ubisoft kunne i dag på blog.ubi fortælle at Assassin's Creed: Unity forsinkes.
Der bliver dog kun tale om lige omkring to ugers forsinkelse, nemlig fra den planlagte udgivelse den 28. oktober til den 13. november.
Senior producer Vincent Pontbriand skriver at det er svært at sætte en præcis plan for spiludvikling med en ny generation af konsoller, hvor der naturligvis er nyt at lære..
"...that's two weeks after the previously announced release date. But along with big ambition - and even bigger promises - comes a lot of heavy lifting. "This being a fully next-gen game, it requires a lot of work, a lot of production, and a lot of learnin. It's always hard to be precise and to quantify exactly how much work is involved. So as we get close to the finish we often realize we're near the target but we're not quite there yet."
Portbriand uddyber yderligere forsinkelsen mere personligt, og fortæller i den forbindelse at det jo ikke er en præcis videnskab at lave spil, og at projekter derfor kan forsinkes en smule uanset planlægning.
"Making games is not a precise science. It's a leap of faith. There's a good level of subjectivity and creativity. We have a bunch of us who have spent two, three years or more on this project. It's a huge personal investment. People have been truly dedicated to this game. For them it's also important to make a game that they can be proud of." That's why the team will continue to toil even beyond the ship date - right up to actual release - building a Day 1 patch that offers even more improvements to Unity."
