Far Cry 3 Goes From September to December

The constantly shifting schedule of the fall and beyond continues.

No Caption Provided

It’s getting harder and harder to keep track of what games are actually coming out this holiday, and while Far Cry 3 isn’t leaving 2012, Ubisoft is giving the developer a few more months to polish up.

The game’s official Twitter account announced Far Cry 3 would move from its September 4 release date all the way to December 4, a whole three months of additional time.

“A rushed game remains bad forever,” said the company. "Thank you for understanding.”

“To make sure we deliver the best experience possible, the development team has been given more time,” it said in reply to another user.

Can't really argue with that.

1 less FPS. How will we survive?

The later (within reason) the better the game can be.

If the options are playing the game sooner, or having the developers spend a few more months on it, I'll take the latter any day.

@Roger778: Cataclysm was released in December, and so was The Old Republic, it's not that unusual.

As long as borderlands 2 doesn't get moved, every other game can get pushed to 2013.

This. Oh god, I will have nothing if they move that game.

Good luck releasing behind call of duty. That works out for everyone.

As much of a bummer as it is since I really wanted to play it I can now catch up on other games and also have something to look forward to in December.

That's what you get when Ubisoft promises a simultaneous release across platforms.

(bet the PC version will still get delayed further)

At least it's still this year, when I read it was delayed my first thought was 2013

I'd prefer a good, kind-of-polished game rather than a broken one, even if that means a couple of months more waiting time.

It seems odd to phrase it like "we need 3 months to make this game not bad" but maybe it was just a poor choice of words.

I'm fine with this delay, if it came out in Sept I wouldn't be able to get it anyway.

Seems like they're padding out their quarter. Wish it had been AC3 that got bumped instead!
