Ubisoft will release Watch Dogs on May 27 for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC.

A Wii U version will follow later, and may not even see release in 2014. Senior producer Dominic Guay also told Polygon that the port is in development at Ubisoft Romania, rather than at lead development studio Ubisoft Montreal.

“We don’t have a specific ship date for it yet so it’s considered within the year,” said Guay. “So we’re going to look at that and we’re going to let people know as soon as we figure out an exact date for it.

“We have our studio in Bucharest working on it, and we wanted that team to have the time to explore the GamePad and be able to have fun with it and see how far they could push it. It’s also an interesting platform, because it has its own strength, which we want to take advantage of, and we didn’t want to delay all the other platforms for that one.

“So we’re going to take the time we need to make sure the game is good (technically) when we ship it and that it also, game design-wise, makes good use of the specifics of the Wii U.”

Watch Dogs was initially marked for release late last year. Speaking to the delay on formats, creative director Jonathan Morin said, “When you’re promising a player that they can hack everything and express themselves, they expect the result to be there. A complicated game that is broken is no more acceptable than an easier one that works.”

Ubisoft has also cut a new trailer that sets up the game's story.
