Brink delayed until spring 2011 News • News • Eurogamer.net

News PC Xbox 360 PlayStation 3

Splash Damage shooter takes its time.

Bethesda Softworks has confirmed to Eurogamer that Splash Damage's upcoming multi-format shooter Brink has been delayed until spring 2011.

Brink has been put together by an all-star cast of developers hired by Splash Damage to bolster its ranks with experience in a number of genres.

The result looks enormously promising, not to mention attractive - a bold blend of single-player and multiplayer shooter principles, clever systems that allow you to move stylishly through the environment without having to recall 48 buttons in the heat of the moment, and stunning visuals.

Check out our most recent Brink preview below and watch out for more coverage in the near future.

Shame, i was really looking forward to seeing how it turns out. Love the art style. Hopefully it's worth the extra wait.

This was one of my big games of the year, was looking forward to this much more than New Vegas or Rage.

Oh well, more than enough games coming out this year anyway.

Slightly relieved to be honest. Most sites had the release date down as the week after Halo Reach which for a new FPS is pretty much commercial suicide.

too bad! was looking forward to this one!
the art direction and character design are just great!
still quite the delay... maybe they figured there is too much competition when they wanted to launch in October??
nonetheless would prefer to wait and get a GREAT game in 2011 that get an OK game in October...

This is the second delay. Brink was originally slated for Spring '10, then pushed back to Fall '10 and now I guess is Spring '11.

Unfortunately for them that will put them firmly against The Old Republic...

The game I'm looking forward to the most together with Rage... So take your time! But not to long!

Maybe we can delay paternity leave for a month or so too.

I'm not confident of their single player. To be honest I'm more interested in them finishing the game so the smart technology has the possibility of being licensed.

The industry needs more exceptional middleware. I mean after seeing Euphoria in Red Dead it's a wonder more games wit5h shooting aren't using it.

Imagine smart in many other more single player focused games.

Going against Killzone 3 on the PlayStation and Gears on the 360?
Hmm not sure if this will turn out well even though I quite like the look of this game.

is no one curious as to why the sudden, rather substantial, delay? given it was supposed to be close to completion, it feels to me like they've decided something core and fundamental just won't work. remember STALKER...
