This comes just as the company has been talking about a need "to release new iterations of our major franchises on a more regular basis." The official announcement was made by Yves Guillemot, who is the chief executive officer of the French publisher, and the reason cited was a "a very competitive environment" during the final months of this year. Basically, the Ubisoft executive is saying that Ghost Recon: Future Soldier could suffer greatly in terms of sales if it goes up against such big launches like Medal of Honor, from DICE, EALA and Electronic Arts, Call of Duty: Black Ops, from Treyarch and Activision, and SOCOM 4, the PlayStation Move enabled tactical offering from Sony and Zipper Interactive. The delay for Ghost Recon: Future Soldier means that Ubisoft will have to rely on Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood, the multiplayer focused Ezio featuring open world game, and unspecified Project Natal and PlayStation Move titles to create important revenue streams.
