Following the news, Xbox boss Phil Spencer admitted that it was a tough decision even though he agreed to give the game an extension of time until they were ready.

"These decisions are tough on the team making the game & our fans. While I fully support giving the team time to release this great game when they are ready, we hear feedback," said Phil, in a separate tweet.

"To deliver the quality & consistency estimated, we will continue to work to better meet these expectations," he continued.

It was also announced in January that Microsoft intends to buy Activision Blizzard in a $68.7 billion deal.
