Team to focus on the PC version and then see what happens.
Looking forward to some Ghost Recon action on the Wii U? Looks like you might be waiting a little longer. The Wii U version which was demoed extensively at E3 2011 has been put ‘on hold’.
The news was revealed in a interview with VideoGamer with the team behind the game announcing that their focus was now ‘completely on the PC version’.
“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.” Ghost Recon Online’s producer Theo Sanders said.
This decision isn’t anything to do abandoning the Wii or anything to do with the Wii’s online service, the team just want to make the PC version the best it can. “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.”
The Ubisoft Shanghai team was working on the Wii U version of the game at the same time as the PC version, it’s not sure what they’re working on now.
