The delay of Ubisoft’s Watch Dogs wasn’t all bad. Not only did the development team get a chance to polish the existing product, but new content was also added in order to flesh out the open-world experience. This news comes from the publisher, who responded to a report by VG247 regarding the changes to the game’s Australian classification.
“The entire development team has been working hard to polish and fine tune Watch Dogs in order to deliver a truly memorable open world game,” the statement reads. “In parallel, the extra time also allowed the team to include a bit of additional content.
“As per Australian classification guidelines, Ubisoft resubmitted the updated version with the added content to the Australian Classification Board (ACB). The decision to amend the rating of the game from MA15+ to R18+ was made by the ACB.”
As of now, the game is expected to take the average player 35 to 40 hours to complete. However, if you’re looking to see everything the city has to offer, expect to lose at least 100 hours from your life.
Watch Dogs will launch on Xbox 360, Xbox One, PS3, PS4, and PC May 27.
