Ubisoft delays the mobile releases of Rainbow Six Mobile and The Division Resurgence. Initially slated for release sometime between 2024 and 2025, both games will now launch after Ubisoft's fiscal year 25 (FY25), meaning a release sometime in late 2024 or early 2025 at the earliest.
This postponement, detailed in a recent financial report, aims to mitigate competition within the crowded tactical shooter market. Ubisoft seeks to avoid a saturated launch environment and instead optimize their key performance indicators (KPIs) for a stronger market entry. The decision suggests the games are nearing completion, but the publisher prioritizes a less competitive release window.
The delay is particularly noteworthy given the anticipation surrounding these mobile titles. However, the strategic move might ultimately benefit both games by ensuring a more impactful launch. While fans will need to exercise more patience, pre-registration remains open for both Rainbow Six Mobile and The Division Resurgence. In the meantime, players can explore other exciting mobile games available in 2024.
The strategic delay positions Ubisoft to avoid direct competition with other major tactical shooter releases, such as Delta Force: Hawk Ops, ensuring a more favorable market entry. While frustrating for fans, the decision underscores Ubisoft's commitment to delivering a successful mobile experience for both established franchises.
