12 Upcoming Video Games That Will Probably Be Delayed

The Buzz: This gorgeously-rendered fantasy platformer looks to ape Ubisoft's UbiArt engine (which helped make Rayman Legends and Child of Light so beautiful to behold) to deliver an ethereal, atmospheric adventure game with a crucial emotional thrust. Current Release Date: Q4 Why It Will Be Delayed: After its surprise unveiling at E3 earlier in the year, recent word has been relatively muted on the game, which given that we're officially now in Q4 is a tad strange. Even if the game releases mid-December, Microsoft Studios should probably have revealed more gameplay footage by now, and when the upcoming gaming slate for the rest of the year is so packed, it would be a financial risk to put the game out this year (even if it's not exactly competing directly with games like Far Cry 4 and Dragon Age: Inquisition). Expect a delay announcement soon enough.
