As fans of the first "Watch Dogs" game wait for the much-awaited sequel, Ubisoft has recently dropped a quite disappointing news as the anticipated release of the game in November will be delayed for a few weeks. Nevertheless, the fans may be able to take additional days of waiting for the impressive game features and contents of the upcoming game title.

It was revealed that the PC platform version of "Watch Dogs 2" will be delayed from its supposed release date on Nov. 15. All three versions of the video game, including the ones for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One console, are intended to be released on the same date, but it appears now that the home console users will be the first ones to enjoy the sequel.

The blog website of Ubisoft now states that the PC version of "Watch Dogs 2" will arrive on Nov. 29, about two weeks from the original scheduled date. The game studio has specified an acceptable reason for the delay as they would need more time to allow them to finish some details and make sure that the game will run smoothly on the PC platform.

Nevertheless, there are more reasons for the fans to patiently wait for "Watch Dogs 2." As reported by Geek, the sequel will be boasting enhanced visual contents due to Ubisoft's promised 4K screen resolution. Also, the new multi-monitor options of the game sequel will allow the players to travel across multiple displays using a borderless mode. However, the player can also tweak the placement of all the menus and the HUD at the same time, thus giving more freedom to choose a setup according to the player's preferences.

"Watch Dogs 2" will also offer additional rewards like an uncapped frame rate, full support for SLI/Crossfire, and different graphics optimizations tat will not jeopardize the graphics performance, avoiding frame rate lag and stuttering. The players can also expect fully adapted keyboard and mouse controls, and raw mouse input for reduced latency. The game also has a gamepad support, but it is only available for the Xbox One and PS4 DualShock.

Meanwhile. Gaming Bolt reported that "Watch Dogs 2" will not be supported by the new PlayStation 4 Pro console. As of now, Ubisoft remains focused on the PS4, Xbox One and PC release of the "Watch Dogs" sequel.
