As Ubisoft is still scrambling to produce the updates Assassin's Creed Unity needs to function, it comes as bad news that the fourth patch has been delayed.

On its Live Updates Blog, Ubisoft has admitted that the fourth patch for Assassin's Creed Unity that was supposed to launch yesterday is now going to be delayed. "As stated last week, we’d expected to release the patch today (and we know that many are anticipating its release), but we are choosing to hold off until we can give you the improvements we’ve promised," the post stated. "We are committed to delivering major performance improvements, which requires that we refurbish the Paris map and that will take a few more days to hit the high level of quality our players deserve."

It seems that, despite releasing a game it knew wasn't fit for launch, Ubisoft has seen the light and is now taking its players into consideration. However, it's still pretty disappointing that a game that should have been okay from the start is still receiving game-saving patches a month after its release.

Hopefully Ubisoft will figure it out and fix up Unity for good before the holidays so people getting the game as a gift won't be nearly as disappointed as those that bought it at launch.
