According to Gamespot, Ubisoft senior communications manager Gary Steinem took to the Ubisoft blog to explain the cause of delay, and said that the company needed more time to fine-tune some details of the game before it gets released. Steinem referred to a few details in the game, that though they may seem unimportant to some, are actual causes of concern for the company.
"A tiny gesture that Arno makes as he's racing across the Parisian rooftops. A barely noticeable reaction from a solitary NPC in a crowd 3,000 deep. The subtle swaying of an opulent chandelier in a ballroom," said Steinem.
"It's these little things, multiplied by the thousands, that the development team focuses on during the final push to ship a game. And with a massive open-world title like 'Assassin's Creed: Unity', all those little things add up fast. Toss in the fact that Unity has been built from the ground up as a new-gen Assassin's Creed—and that final straight-line sprint to the finish suddenly becomes an obstacle course laden with curves, hurdles, and pitfalls," he added.
Seemed odd to me too; what can you exactly fix in two weeks? But I suppose there are little things here and there can get all be patched up to create a better product overall. We don't want another AC3 on hour hands, do we? :P
