Looks like Watch Dogs is getting hit with quite the delay, unfortunately. The reasoning is to add more polish to the game.

Our ambition from the start with Watch Dogs has been to deliver something that embodies what we wanted to see in the next-generation of gaming. It is with this in mind that we’ve made the tough decision to delay the release until spring 2014.

We know a lot of you are probably wondering: Why now? We struggled with whether we would delay the game. But from the beginning, we have adopted the attitude that we will not compromise on quality. As we got closer to release, as all the pieces of the puzzle were falling into place in our last push before completion, it became clear to us that we needed to take the extra time to polish and fine tune each detail so we can deliver a truly memorable and exceptional experience.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank all of you. We thoroughly enjoy and appreciate the way you respond on the web, at events, press conferences and other opportunities we have to interact. Your passion keeps us motivated.

We can’t wait to see you in Chicago next spring. We are confident you’ll love this game as much as we love working on it.

NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO!

^ That was my reaction. I was so excited for November to come.

I'm sad to hear it, but I am honestly not surprised... It's a big title, and I think they took water over their heads on that release date. 

Pretty disappointed by that but I guess I understand if it means we will be getting an even better version in the spring. 

when i saw that i said '' are you kidding me!!!! '' so close to launch and they had to delay it
