Delays have become commonplace in video games nowadays, and Rainbow Six Siege joins the long line of games to be pushed back by a few months. Now the game will come out on December 1.
Ubisoft announced the delay in an update post on its blog. According to the company, it needs to extra time for notable improvements such as weapon balancing and menu design.
"With that in mind, we’ve decided to push the release date of Rainbow Six Siege to December 1, 2015 for all regions," the post states. "This wasn’t an easy decision, but based on the feedback we’ve received, and based on our own internal tests, we felt there are adjustments and improvements we can make, including improving the co-op experience across all game modes, weapon and gadget balancing, as well as menu and interface navigation. We’re taking a little more time to make these changes, and we think it’s the right call."
The game was originally scheduled to come out on October 13, just a couple of months from now. It's not surprising to see such a high-profile release get delayed, but the announcement comes a little later than expected.
There are plenty of other games coming out in October though, and the extra time will likely result in a better experience. This is one of those cases in which a delay seems like the right move. Hopefully Ubisoft can capitalize on the extra development time.
