Ubisoft's ambitious open-world game The Division has been delayed and is now expected out early next year, the publisher revealed today.

As part of today's financial results announcement for the year ending March 31, Ubisoft offered a new release window for the latest game to bear Tom Clancy's name. An outline of games coming during the company's 2016 fiscal year (which runs April 1, 2015 - March 31, 2016) lists The Division as coming to Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC during its fourth fiscal quarter, which translates to January-March of 2016.

The Division was at one point expected out in 2014, something an anonymous development source described as "laughable" at the time. In May, it was delayed until 2015, though we've never gotten a more specific release date than that.

Ubisoft recently revealed that, along with Massive Entertainment, a total of four studios are working on The Division.

Knew this was coming. It's like being told you are going on a date with Kate Upton next week. Then, 6 months later you get that date. Only to find out she's a dude.

I wonder how many people actually cares about this game or any Ubisoft game cause I don't. Ubisoft simply lost their magic and I doubt they will ever get it back.

I never felt the impression that this game would be great; I mean, sure, the graphics are superb (though probably not the graphics its going to get), you can see bullet holes and shuts car doors, but what else is actually great? Just looks like a generic tps to me, not to mention that the game is an online/social-multiplayer experience. Only naive people can be hyped by this.

Considering the amount of delays this gen, maybe some of these AAA studios should get rid of some of there PR Hype Staff and add more developers.

The other option would be to give us dates way in the future for example release date 2018 and when it's ready in 2016 release it. No one has ever complained about a full game being release early unless it wasn't ready.

Just one more article and the entire GS front page becomes a shrine to Ubisoft and especially Assassins Creed.

@playstationzone: Promotional trailer crafted specifically for marketing purposes. We'll be lucky if it looks anything like that.

@playstationzone: Demo footage/gameplay are made in the own little bubble using tools from the game that they have available at the time. Sure there was "gameplay footage", but it was scripted as hell. Could just been a lot of animation for all you know

This was one of the most promising looking games from Ubisoft, probably ever. I really hope it's good but with it's heavy reliance on online functionality, the number of studios working on the game, on top of increasingly pushed back release dates, I am becoming skeptical that this is all going to come together as something that reflects what little gameplay we have seen to date. Not to mention the ever dubious nature of Ubisofts inclusion and poor execution of micro-transactions.

This had better be better than Witcher 3, Arkham Knight, and MGSV combined.

Enough is enough.
