Watch Dogs careens into the future -- 2014

If you have been waiting for the release of Watch Dogs that at one time used to be right around the corner, you will have to wait just a little longer.  Ubisoft has announced that Watch Dogs video game that has been anticipated by many, will not be released as originally scheduled on November 19, 2013. Could it be that Ubisoft wants to carve a niche for Watch Dogs in 2014, since GTA V won the gold by breaking many records in sales in 2013?

According to Ubisoft, the reason for Watch Dog's release date delay had no correlation with  GTA V. No specifics were given by Ubisoft for the delay -- just a statement to the effect of what they expected Watch Dogs to deliver.

In the words of Watch Dogs development team:  "Our ambition from the start for 'Watch Dogs' has been to deliver something that embodies what we wanted to see in next generation gaming.  It is with this in mind that we've made the tough decision to delay the release until Spring, 2014."

Ubisoft's Co-founder and CEO Yves Guillemot states the decision to delay Watch Dogs was a tough one but  will prove to be right in terms of satisfaction for the fans and the shareholders.  The specific new release date for Watch Dogs was not included in the announcement -- only the Spring, 2014 release timeframe was provided.
