The WiiU version of Ghost Recon Online has been put on hold indefinitely as Ubisoft concentrate their development team on perfecting the PC version.

Ghost Recon Online - WiiU Version Put On Hold Ghost-Recon-Online-Classes

"As of right now, the entire Ghost Recon team is focused on the PC version only," Sanders revealed. "The Wii U version is on hold."

"If in the future we have an opportunity to address it again, we'll make future announcements. But as of right now we're focused completely on the PC version."

"It's not a reaction to anything specific happening to [Wii U]," he continued. "It was a really fun, cool platform to develop for. But you realise once you launch an online service that it's an all-consuming effort, so we really wanted to have all hands on deck. It was the same dev team working on both SKUs, and [we] really wanted to focus on doing the PC version right."

"I'm not really in a position to talk about the Wii U, but our particular choice for Ghost Recon Online was purely based on the fact that we had one dev team working on both SKUs and it was an all-consuming effort with the PC launch. It's tough launching an online game."


Ubisoft has not officially cancelled the game as yet, therefore it could potentially be released sometime in the future.

"It's hard to say how the future will go for Ghost Recon Online," he continued. "I think in the future as different platforms evolve towards service models and towards being really online-driven, community-driven platforms, then we'll definitely be looking at what our options are."

My guess is both of these have to do with the recent NDP survey. Likely NDP reported initial interest in WiiU is lower than expected and so resources are being redeployed.
