After the game’s final round of testing, Settlers was once again delayed indefinitely. Publisher Ubisoft and developer Ubisoft Dusseldorf have announced that the reboot of The Settlers has been delayed again after a recent closed beta. The Ubisoft City-Builder RTS The Settlers reboot has been delayed indefinitely due to player feedback from the recent beta.
Ubisoft has high hopes for The Settlers, and the company has decided to indefinitely delay the release of the game following feedback from the closed beta in January. Then, in 2020, the game was delayed until 2022, and now, weeks before the expected launch, Ubisoft has again delayed the game.
After previous delays, The Settlers reboot was tied to a launch scheduled for March 17th. After resurrecting from development hell earlier this year, Ubisoft’s The Settlers reboot has returned to its dark depths once again with another delay. This will be the third major delay in Ubisoft’s The Settlers reboot and the second time it has been postponed indefinitely.
Such is the case with Ubisoft’s upcoming game The Settlers, which is facing an indefinite lag. While Ubisoft’s next upcoming game will most likely be released in the future, no date has been set at the moment, which is very worrying. Created as a reboot of the Ubisoft franchise, The Settlers is based on the vast history of Ubisoft games.
First announced at Gamescom 2018, The Settlers will be a reboot of the original series. Developed on the Snowdrop engine, Ubisoft’s The Settlers is a reboot of the real-time strategy series. Ubisoft’s The Settlers aims to reboot a nearly 30-year-old franchise and feature a story campaign, single-player and multiplayer modes for eight players, and three playable factions.
Ubisoft initially announced a 2018 reboot of its long-running Settlers franchise and long-running Settlers franchise, but the game has suffered more delays, further pushing back its annual release window. Reboots of Settlers, Blue Bytes and Ubisoft’s Tactics Saga, postpone Settler’s release date indefinitely. Unfortunately, Ubisoft doesn’t seem to get the feedback Ubisoft was hoping for during the closed beta, as the company decided to delay Settlers for the third time.
The developers shared the news about the delay on The Settlers Twitter account. Fans will once again have to wait longer than expected as Ubisoft delayed the game indefinitely “Hello dear The Settlers fans, Ubisoft would like to share an important update with you. The latest update for The Settlers came in January when Ubisoft first announced the PC version’s March release date via the Epic Games Store and Ubisoft Connect. Settler, launched in 2018, was originally scheduled to release this year, but today the Ubisoft Blue Bytes team announced an indefinite delay. Ubisoft’s decision to delay Settler indefinitely shortly before the game’s release doesn’t bode well for the game’s current quality.”
While Ubisoft does not cite any specific criticism as the reason for the delay, the public experience of The Settlers closed beta has criticized a significant portion of The Settlers’ current gameplay experience. The Settlers development team at Ubisoft’s Germany took to Twitter to announce their decision to delay the reboot. An indefinite delay may seem especially grim for the current The Settlers project, but the Ubisoft team is making it clear that it’s necessary to complete the remaining work to complete The Settlers reboot. Ubisoft says it will use the extended time frame resulting from the delay to further improve The Settlers and improve quality as a top priority for developers.
