Driver: San Francisco out this September

PS3 Child of Eden out before July.

Driver: San Francisco launches this September, Ubisoft has announced.

The game, delayed in November 2010 to ensure that the finished product is up to scratch, was due to launch between April 2011 and the end of March 2012.

In an updated release schedule issued today, the French publisher narrowed the release window of the PlayStation 3 version of Child of Eden and Splinter Cell Trilogy HD.

Child of Eden launches on PS3 during the second quarter of 2011 – meaning it releases at some point between now and the end of June.

The Kinect-enabled Xbox 360 version of Child of Eden has a confirmed UK release date of 17th June.

Splinter Cell HD also launches at some point between now and the end of June. The PlayStation 3 collection had been down for launch during the first half of 2011, but last month was rumoured to have suffered a delay.

Elsewhere, shooter sequel Call of Juarez: The Cartel launches this summer, and Nintendo 3DS games Driver Renegade and James Noir's Hollywood Crimes go during the third quarter of Ubisoft's financial year – between November 2011 and January 2012.

Ghost Recon Future Soldier is pegged for launch during Ubisoft's 2011/12 financial year – between now and March 2011.
