Ubisoft Delays Rainbow Six Mobile and The Division Resurgence

Ubisoft has announced further delays for the mobile versions of Rainbow Six and The Division, pushing their release dates beyond its fiscal year 2025 (FY25). This means players will likely have to wait until at least after April 2025 to get their hands on these highly anticipated titles.

The decision, detailed in a recent business document, aims to mitigate competition within the already saturated tactical shooter market. Ubisoft's strategy prioritizes a strong launch rather than risking a less successful debut amidst a crowded release schedule. The document indicates the games are nearing completion, but the publisher prefers a more favorable market position.

This delay is particularly noteworthy given the upcoming release of competing titles like Delta Force: Hawk Ops. Ubisoft seeks to "optimize KPIs" – business jargon for maximizing key performance indicators and ensuring a robust market entry.

While this news may disappoint fans, pre-registration for both games remains open. In the meantime, you can explore our curated lists of the best and most anticipated mobile games of 2024 to fill the void.
