Assassin's Creed Delayed, GRAW 2 Replacement

The next-gen beauty Assassin's Creed has been bumped out further into 2007, reports Gamespot. Brothers in Arms: Hell's Highway is receiving similar treatment. Ubisoft is filling the hole in their lineup with Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2, which is some consolation. From the article: "GRAW 2 isn't the only thing Ubi is prepping for gamers' springtime. Also coming by the end of March 2007 will be seven more Wii games from the publisher, including 'one nonannounced new brand.' With the seven previously announced Wii launch games from the company, Ubisoft expects to have 14 Wii titles in stores before April 2007."

This is good news.

Game release date delays are almost always a good thing; if the developer does not feel the title is polished enough, please, please delay it and keep working on it. I wish more companies took the Blizzard / Valve route and waited until their games was not only finished, but polished to a fine sheen before release.

Otherwise, you end up with KoTOR 2; a good game (could have been brilliant) turned into a major dissapointment by a rushed development cycle.

cliche, but..
