Ubisoft today announced it will be delaying Far Cry 5 in the Middle East and North Africa. Instead of launching on the worldwide release date of March 27, fans in the region will only be able to purchase the game from April 10, 2018.

In a press release, Ubisoft states the delay "will help ensure that the Arabic version of Far Cry 5 meets Ubisoft's top quality standards and is no way related to its localization."

While the wording of that is quite ambiguous, and immediately raises concern of modified or censored content, Ubisoft's PR and Digital Media Manager for the MENA region, Malek Teffaha, in a series of tweets insists that that there will be no modification of any kind.

عملنا على ان موعد الاطلاق هو ٢٧ مارس، وحتى احتفلنا بالموافقة من الهيئة السعودية.



ولكنه كان احتفالاً مبكراً. عملنا قدر المستطاع على ضمان الجودة ولكن نحتاج الى القليل من الوقت الاضافي. أسبوعين بالتحديد.



واؤكد لكم ان لا علاقة للتأجيل بتعديل اي محتوى. عملت كثيراً على هذا المشروع! — Malek Teffaha مالك تفاحة (@malekawt) March 21, 2018
