Ubisoft's upcoming mobile games Rainbow Six Mobile and Tom Clancy's The Division Resurgence have been pushed back from their initial 2024-2025 release window to FY25, which means they likely won't be released until after April 2025. Ubisoft's business documentation suggests the games are not far from completion, but the company wants to wait for a less competitive market to ensure a strong launch.
Ubisoft fans eagerly anticipating the mobile versions of Rainbow Six Siege and The Division will have to wait a bit longer. In a recent business document, Ubisoft revealed that both games have been postponed from their initial 2024-2025 release window to FY25. For the uninitiated, FY25 in financial terminology encompasses most of 2024 and early 2025, making it likely that neither game will be released before April 2025.
The delay comes as a surprise, considering that Ubisoft had previously stated that both games were on track for their 2024-2025 release window. However, the business documentation doesn't suggest that the games are far from completion. Instead, Ubisoft's decision to push back the release dates appears to be a strategic move to avoid a crowded market.
Rainbow Six Mobile and The Division Resurgence Delayed: Release Now Scheduled for After April 2025
Ubisoft's business documentation specifically mentions that it wants to "deliver on optimized KPIs in the context of a demanding yet very large market." This is business jargon for wanting a strong start out of the gate and not to end up swamped by other releases.
It's understandable that Ubisoft wants its mobile games to have the best chance of success, but the delay will undoubtedly disappoint fans who have been eagerly awaiting the release of Rainbow Six Mobile and The Division Resurgence.
Ubisoft has yet to provide any specific reasons for the delay, but it's likely that the company is concerned about the upcoming release of Delta Force: Hawk Ops, another tactical shooter that is set to pre-empt Rainbow Six Mobile and The Division Resurgence when it comes to mobile devices.
Despite the delay, Ubisoft has encouraged fans to pre-register for both games, which will give them access to the latest news and updates. In the meantime, fans can also check out Ubisoft's "constantly growing list of the best mobile games of 2024 (so far)" and "list of the most anticipated mobile games of the year" to find something to keep them occupied until Rainbow Six Mobile and The Division Resurgence finally arrive.
