The Nintendo Wii U version will be getting a later release.<\/p>\n<p>During an investor call on 10 February, Ubisoft announced that the release of Watch Dogs continues as planned for the first quarter of 2014.<\/p>\n<p>A lot is riding on the success of the open-world hacktion-adventure game, which was delayed from its previous November 2013 launch, harming Ubisoft&#8217;s financial results and worrying investors at the time. Ubisoft said that the game needed more polish.<\/p>\n<p>Ubisoft didn&#8217;t clarify much when asked about the Wii U delay, only saying that they do not plan on releasing the Wii U version until a later date.<\/p>\n<p>Could this delay be linked to the lower than expected sales of the Wii U gaming console, and indicate its low-priority with multi-platform developers?<\/p>\n<p>Watch Dogs is poised to be Ubisoft&#8217;s next ground-breaking IP, featuring all manner of open-world hacking exploits in a lovingly crafted futuristic Chicago.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/TRAzrwRZ-T4\" height=\"338\" width=\"600\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\">More gaming news<\/h3>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/news\/61880-heavenly-sword-new-movie-trailer.html\">Heavenly Sword: new movie trailer<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/news\/61878-next-gen-worms-battlegrounds-announced.html\">Next-gen Worms Battlegrounds announced<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/news\/61874-south-africa-10th-in-global-esport-ranking.html\">South Africa 10th in global eSport ranking<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/news\/61864-the-last-of-us-cleans-up-at-dice-awards.html\">The Last of Us cleans up at DICE Awards<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wii U owners just can&#8217;t catch a break &#8211; Watch Dogs is further delayed for the platform<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":213,"featured_media":53362,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_sma_x_autopost_enabled":true,"_sma_x_custom_text":"","_sma_x_autopost_status":"idle","_sma_x_autopost_error":"","_sma_x_post_id":"","_sma_x_attempts":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[21,733,4771],"class_list":["post-61885","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-business","tag-headline","tag-ubisoft","tag-watch-dogs"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/61885","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/213"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=61885"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/61885\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":61886,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/61885\/revisions\/61886"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/53362"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=61885"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=61885"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=61885"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
