Ubisoft announced that the PC version of Assassin’s Creed Syndicate will not release alongside the Xbox One and PS4 versions on October 23.
Assassin’s Creed Syndicate will launch for PC on November 19. In Ubisoft’s blog post, Sam Kovalev, Production Manager at Ubisoft Kieve, explains the PC version’s delay:
“We have introduced several new improvements to our production pipeline and validation process, which allowed us to focus on polishing, stabilizing and optimizing the PC version very early on in the project,” says Kovalev. “This has been one of the top priorities for the production team this year.
“But even with these new processes in place and everything running on schedule, the team still wants to let Assassin’s Creed Syndicate cook for a little while longer before releasing it on PC, so as to give players the optimal experience. The additional four weeks are for us to really bear down and finalize all of the polish and optimization, to make sure the game and all of its systems are stable when it launches, so it runs smoothly for all players starting on day one.”
