It is always sad to see a game get delayed, but with the current climate of the world, it is not that unexpected and as the core team leading the charge is a new studio for Ubisoft, additional challenges would have been likely to pop up.

Regardless, the game is coming to Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC and the wait will be worth it.
