Ubisoft uncertain on Ghost Recon Online Wii U release date

PC version has needed "all-hands-on-deck".

Ubisoft is uncertain on when Ghost Recon Online will launch on Wii U.

The free-to-play PC shooter was confirmed for Nintendo's next console back at E3 2011, alongside fellow Ubisoft titles Assassin's Creed 3 and Killer Freaks From Outer Space (now ZombiU).

But, this year, Ghost Recon Online was notably missing from the publisher's Wii U line-up.

Nintendo does not list the game on its schedule of 2012 Wii U titles, either.

"Our focus has been entirely on delivering a great launch on PC," a Ubisoft spokesperson told Eurogamer in response to the lack of news. "Achieving that has been an all-hands-on-deck effort for the team this year.

"We're looking forward to seeing what we can do on other platforms like Wii U once we're on solid ground with the PC launch. We'll have more to share later."

Ghost Recon Online is due to launch this year on PC. It arrives as a free-to-play title, a business model which the Wii U also supports.
