Watch Dogs publisher Ubisoft's shares have taken a big hit following news of the highly anticipated next-gen title's delay.
Games Industry (http://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/2013-10-16-ubisoft-shares-plunge-20-percent) reports the publisher's stock has dropped 22 per cent and is currently trading at just $2.27 a share.
The delay of the potential blockbuster isn't the only reason for the swift decline. Ubisoft was forced to lower its sales forecast by 30 per cent earlier this week – due to Splinter Cell: Blacklist and Rayman Legends failing to meet sales expectations, as well as the firm having to delay its open-world racing game The Crew.
Watch Dogs delay (https://www.mcvuk.com/news/read/watch-dogs-delayed-until-2014/0122651) from late 2013 to spring 2014 also has retailers scrambling (https://www.mcvuk.com/news/read/retail-moves-to-change-ps4-watch-dogs-bundles-pre-orders/0122674) to make good, now that the previously offered launch bundle with the PS4 is no longer an option.
