Ubisoft has just announced that Rainbow Six Siege will be delayed from its original October 13th release date to December 1st.
Ubisoft made the announcement in a blog post today which marks another of the company's titles in a long list of games to be delayed. Rainbow Six Siege is the new four-player cooperative shooter featuring no respawns in game and places a new emphasis on teamwork and strategy. Ubisoft commented on the delay by saying:
"Whether it’s been through playtests in our studios, the closed alpha, or recent hands-on demos at events like E3 or Gamescom, player feedback has been essential to the development of Rainbow Six Siege. Getting the game in people’s hands and listening to what they have to say helps us understand how we can improve their experience, and we’d like to thank everyone who’s taken part in the process so far. With that in mind, we’ve decided to push the release date of Rainbow Six Siege to December 1, 2015 for all regions. 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."
Ubisoft continued by thanking the fans for their support as well as re-confirming the game's beta which is scheduled for September 24th. We'll have more information for you as it's released
