Watch Dogs Release Date Between April & June, Wii U Version Delayed

Watch Dogs has finally been given a release date!…sort of. The game is scheduled to be released in company’s first fiscal quarter, so sometime in April, May or June, according to Ubisoft’s latest financial report.

“[Our] fiscal 2014-15 will see an exceptional games lineup, with the release of five major titles, including Just Dance, The Crew, and Watch Dogs, which is scheduled for release in the first fiscal quarter,” “Our lineup is also expected to reap the benefits of the return to growth in the console market and the increasingly significant impact of digital gaming.”

While the game is set to release on PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, Xbox One and PC during this time, Ubisoft have confirmed to VideoGamer.com that the Wii U version has been delayed to focus on other versions of the game. Their comment reads:

“We made the difficult decision to further delay the release of Watch Dogs on Wii U to focus the team’s resources where they could have the broadest possible benefit for both our customers and Ubisoft“.

I can’t say I blame them. Perhaps the Wii U version could benefit from a larger install base that Mario Kart 8 is sure to bring? Still, it’s good to know that the game release isn’t too far away, let’s hope for no last minute delays this time!
