Obviously wrong. It's way to early to talk about release dates when we haven't even seen screenshots or know any details about the game yet. I don't expect to play the game this year seeing how Ancel and his team have the freedom to make the game as good as it can be, so they probably won't be rushing the development.
lol... may would be great news, but no... it's a completely false rumor. i believe they were JUST having jobs posted about working on the development team... so obviously that's too soon. also, we'd have seen more than a simple teaser from last year if it were true.
may 1st? as if, ubisoft won't make the same mistake twice, they are going to promote it like hell up until and after the release date, if it was really only 39 days left, we would be seeing it on billboards and buses by now.
