Tom Clancy The Division Gets Delayed to 2016

Ubisoft has delayed the release of Tom Clancy's The Division to 2016 (March). In addition to this, Rainbow Six Siege and an unannounced AAA title will also launch in the same window.

These games are "key drivers" for Ubisoft in the coming year, according to its investor report. Rainbow Six Siege will arrive in Q3 of FY2016 (which means it launches this fall) with The Division following in Q4 (somewhere between January and March 2016). "It is never an easy decision to move a launch date," Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot said, stating that this is a move "that has always benefited the company." Guillemot added that Ubisoft will announce the new game this fall. Guillemot declined to comment on whether or not it was a new IP or an existing franchise.

This is a lot of work for an online only game. They must be banking on it to revolutionize mp if they're going to this much effort.

The thing that is most concerning is that they're having to bring in additional help to complete it. I mean, if its just some simple cover shooter, then whats the hold up? It cant be gfx, unless they're doing a PC version and a separate console version. Though when was the last time they did that? Rainbow 6 series before the release of the PS360?

With CDP (rumored) having to scale down previous builds of W3 to accommodate the PS4/x1, i doubt The Division is going to be a show case title for the consoles unless they have Sony/MS help to tap that power thats normally reserved for first party titles.

Im worried that too many chiefs (and indians in this case) is going to seriously hurt the end product. That wouldn't surprise me though, the last game that ready to be released and working day 1 from ubi, was Blood Dragon.
