360 Gamer is reporting the shocking news that three of UbiSoft’s biggest titles may be delayed til 2008, including Assassin’s Creed (which just went gold with a Nov. 16 “release date”), Haze and Raving Rabbids 2.
In a financial report put out by Ubisoft, the company announced that, “As a result of the positive trends observed during the first half of the year as well as the positive outlook for the third quarter, Ubisoft has decided to postpone the release of certain games”.
The titles in question weren’t confirmed, but the report went on to state that, “Six franchises are now scheduled for release in 2007-08 (Brothers in Arms, Far Cry, Rayman Raving Rabbids, The Settlers, Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell and an unannounced franchise), compared with the previously announced seven.”
The report then added: “Three new brands are now scheduled for release in 2007-08 (Assassin’s Creed, Haze, Tom Clancy’s End War), compared with the previously announced six … the four games concerned will now strengthen Fiscal 2008-09”.
Since Assassin’s Creed is gold, it would be to avoid the holiday rush, but honestly, AC being delayed would be supremely annoying.

[...] Según leemos en el portal Game Stooge diversas fuentes afirman que, de manera totalmente sorprendente e inesperada, Ubisoft estaría planeando retrasar varios de sus títulos clave para lo que resta de año. Entre los mismos se encontrarían proyectos de la talla de Assassin´s Creed, Haze o Rayman Raving Rabbids 2. La noticia resulta de lo más extraña, aunque más aún en el caso de Assassin´s Creed, el cual acaba de ser declarado Gold con el próximo 16 de noviembre como fecha estimada de lanzamiento. Curiosamente las supuestas razones esgrimidas por Ubisoft para estos retrasos son los buenos resultados de la compañía durante la primera mitad del año y las positivas previsiones para el tercer cuarto, lo cual resulta del todo incomprensible. Esperemos que no sea cierto porque de serlo se podría armar un buen revuelo. Crucemos dedos. Fuente: Game Stooge. [...]
