'Assassin's Creed Sydicate' PC Release Date Delayed, Developers Aiming for 'Most Stable' Version
This time, the team is making sure the audience is getting a game that's close to perfect as possible. Ubisoft has delayed the PC release date of "Assasin's Creed Syndicate" in a bid to produce a more finely tuned version for the players.
According to the UbiBlog, the newest installment of the action-adventure video game will keep its October release date for PS4 and Xbox One versions. However, the "Assassin's Creed Syndicate" will be landing on the PC platform a month later.
The official blog of Ubisoft spoke to Sam Kovalev, Ubisoft Kiev's studio production manager, who said that the team wants to be positive that "PC players get the most stable, optimized version of the game on day one."
Part of the reason of the team's increased drive to produce the best game is the controversial 2014 release of "Assassin's Creed Unity." A report from PC Gamer recalled how disastrous "Unity" was. It was so racked with problems that Ubisoft was forced to pull out the game and offer a free game to appease those who had already purchased their copy.
This time around, Ubisoft is pulling out all the stops to make up for the efforts last year. The team is not only trying to fix the mistakes, but also provide an upgraded experience from the previous versions of the title.
"We have introduced several new improvements to our production pipeline and validation process, which allowed us to focus on polishing, stabilizing and optimizing the PC version very early on in the project," said Kovalev.
He added, "The additional four weeks are for us to really bear down and finalize all of the polish and optimization, to make sure the game and all of its systems are stable when it launches, so it runs smoothly for all players starting on day one."
While system requirements for PC are still being finalized, Ubisoft announced that they are targeting 1080p and 30 FPS. There will be no locks on the game for framerate and resolution.
Hopefully the delay in the release date offers a polished game that "Assassin's Creed" fans can enjoy. A report from Game Rant said that "Syndicate" features a female protagonist, as well as "faster traversal, more intimate combat, and a unique storytelling dynamic." According to IGN, special characters Charles Darwin and Charles Dickens will be making an appearance in the highly anticipated game.
The "Assassin's Creed Syndicate" for PS4 and Xbox One will be launched on October 23, 2015. The version for PC will be released on November 19.
