Today has been a day of push backs over at Ubisoft as the French company has delayed a number of upcoming games such as Far Cry 5, The Crew 2, and an unannounced project.
Originally slated for late February, Far Cry 5 will now release a month later on 27th March. Meanwhile, The Crew 2 has received a more significant delay after being pushed back to the first half of Ubisoft's 2018 fiscal year. This means the racer will launch at some point before 30th September, 2018.
Most interestingly however is the fact that an unannounced project has also had a set back, with this title now planned for launch within the 2019-2020 fiscal year.
All three titles will now receive extended development time, something Ubisoft's Worldwide Studios Executive Director told Games Industry.biz is now part of its strategic vision: "Taking more time with Assassin's Creed Origins enabled our talented development team to fully express their creative vision. As expected, this had a very positive impact on the game's quality and largely participated to its commercial success. Taking a similar approach, we have decided to invest additional development time in three upcoming games."
What do you think the unannounced game could be? Watch Dogs 3? The Division 2? Climb a tower in the comments below.

Im hoping its Trials 4, a bit more back to basics than fusion without the stupid right stick stunt stuff (with easier trophies please ubi).
The unannounced game is probably Watch Dogs 3 or maybe that sci-fi game that was rumored.
wonder if they had Microtransactions in it and decided to change them because of the EA/Star Wars backlash
I get crew but why Far cry It's litteraly Copy paste of last three games and I love Far Cry series as a whole.
Why announce a delay for an unannounced game? How can it be delayed for us when we didn't even know it existed in the first place.
Having said that, I'd love to see a new Watch Dogs.
@Gatatog i thought so too at first but this is from gamesindustry.biz which means this announcement is aimed at investors. and they probably don't care about the game's name but rather what numbers it will pull and when it will release
Given the projected time frame of the unannounced game, I think there's a good chance it's a cross a generational title. PS5 cometh.
Is it weird how that graphic you used included Advanced Warfighter, from like... 2008?
My guess is Watch Dogs 3 or the next Assassin’s Creed.

WHO WOULDA THUNK IT
Maybe Watch Dogs 3 or a new Splinter Cell? Looks like that Watch Dogs 2 didn't have great sales though, I think that happened because the first game was hyped a lot and in the end was a disappointment, but the sequel is really good.
I would like a Rayman as 3D platformer or Prince of Persia. The only game that I'm really hyped for made by Ubisoft is Beyond Good & Evil 2.
@Cassetticons 2012.
@Gatatog
Doesn’t make much sense does it? A game you know nothing about and didn’t know existed has been delayed indefinitely...or 2019-20.
@PS_Nation Nah, that character was taken from Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2, which a wiki search came out in 2007. The last one was 2012. Just seems strange to me.
after how much ac blew me away i am now definitely keen for farcry

If the unannounced game is Watch Dogs 3..please PLEASE don't have that awful cast of characters from Watch Dogs 2!
Ubisoft learned something this year!
Clearly it had something to do with loot boxes/micro transactions, they must be fuming mad at EA.
Ubi can go ahead and delay Far Cry 5, I'm still going to wait until it's on sale before buying it.
I liked Primal, but 4 was very meh.
Wow, loot box removal is tough...
A new splinter cell? But when playing ac:origins i did had the feeling that game could have easely made into a open world prince of persia
@Cheski I'm hoping it's one of those two title, Assassin's Creed can wait honestly.
