Ubisoft’s mobile titles are getting even more delays.In its Q1 financial reportreleased Thursday, the company announced thatRainbow Six MobileandThe Division Resurgencehave been delayed out of fiscal year 2025, meaning they’re now set for at least later next year. The company says this is to “ensure that these experiences deliver on expectations with optimized KPIs in the context of a demanding yet very large market.”
Both mobile titles, which Ubisoft says are full versions of their respective games but built from the ground up for touchscreens, have been delayed multiple times.Rainbow Six Mobilewas announced in 2022, and was expected to release later that year after a closed beta. The year came and went.The team updated players in Marchthat it would be pausing the open beta soft launch rollout to “focus our efforts on enhancing key elements based on community feedback.”
The Division Resurgencedevelopment has been similar. It was announced in 2022, and a trailer that debuted duringUbisoft Forward 2023had a fall 2023 release window. However, the free-to-play mobile game first delayed phase two of its regional beta in August 2023, but after a successful test period in November,announced in a blogthat it would be coming later in 2024.
You can still pre-register for both games on iOS and Android.
Overall, Ubisoft’s lineup is still in a good place despite the delays. The financial report reiterated that the company has a “strategic focus” on two verticals: open-world adventures like Assassin’s Creed and the upcomingStar Wars Outlaws, and games-as-a-service (GaaS) titles. Ubisoft is specifically putting a lot of resources intoXDefiant, the hit multiplayer shooterXDefiant.
