The upcoming title was originally due to release worldwide on October 13, with today's delay pinned on adjustment and improvements across all game modes."We’ve decided to push the release date of Rainbow Six Siege to December 1, 2015 for all regions," explains a post . "This wasn’t an easy decision, but based on the feedback we’ve received, and based on our own internal tests, we felt there are adjustments and improvements we can make, including improving the co-op experience across all game modes, weapon and gadget balancing, as well as menu and interface navigation. We’re taking a little more time to make these changes, and we think it’s the right call."We understand that many of you are excited to get your hands on the final game, but as gamers ourselves we know that quality comes first and we are committed to delivering the best game possible."Bringing Rainbow Six Siege to life continues to be an incredible experience, and we’d like to thank all fans for your feedback, support, and unwavering enthusiasm. We couldn’t make the game without you. We hope you’re all excited for the upcoming closed beta on September 24." Special Editions of Rainbow Six Siege have already been announced, and the pre-order bonus guaranteeing entry into the game's Closed Beta will still be honoured.Though it's far from ideal news, it's better to have a game that's delayed and polished than early and broken.
