Mobile Giants Postponed: 'Rainbow Six,' 'The Division' Delayed to '25

Ubisoft Delays Rainbow Six Mobile and The Division Resurgence

Rainbow Six Mobile and Tom Clancy's The Division Resurgence, highly anticipated mobile titles, have been delayed yet again. Initially slated for a 2024-2025 release, Ubisoft's latest financial report reveals a postponement until after FY25 (meaning sometime after April 2025).

The decision, according to Ubisoft, aims to mitigate competition within the already saturated tactical shooter market. The games are reportedly nearing completion, but the publisher seeks a more advantageous release window to maximize their potential success. The strategy prioritizes strong initial performance over launching amidst a crowded field of competing titles, including upcoming releases like Delta Force: Hawk Ops.

Strategic Postponement

Ubisoft's business documentation highlights a desire for "optimized KPIs in a demanding yet very large market," indicating a focus on achieving strong key performance indicators from the outset. This strategic delay is likely intended to avoid being overshadowed by other releases.

While disappointing for fans eagerly awaiting these mobile adaptations of their favorite franchises, pre-registration remains open for both games. In the meantime, explore our curated lists of the best and most anticipated mobile games of 2024 for alternative gaming options.
