Watch Dogs Still on Track for Wii U, Release Date Uncertain

Ubisoft have disclosed details on why the Wii U version of Watch Dogs has seen a delay. Fortunately, it's still alive.

Speaking on the Wii U version specifically, Ubisoft senior producer Dominic Guay confirmed that Ubisoft Bucharest is crafting the Wii U version, whilst Montreal is taking the lead on other platforms.

The main reason that the game isn't hitting Wii U systems on May 27th is to allow the team "the time to explore the GamePad and be able to have fun with it and see how far they could push." To ensure the Wii U version gets a dose of TLC, Ubisoft intend to "take the time we need" to make sure it makes "good use of the specifics of the Wii U."

Despite this, Ubisoft aren't willing to postpone the launch of the other versions.

A release date, however, is still uncertain but it's "considered within the year". The game will remain the same on Wii U, but "we'll adapt for the needs of the specific needs", Guay said.
