New Ghost Recon game delayed

Future Soldier now for "early 2011".

Ubisoft has delayed Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Future Soldier until "early 2011". It was originally down for autumn.

"Yes, Ghost Recon Future Soldier has been delayed to early 2011," tweeted Kimi Matsuzaki, senior community developer for the game. "It's good, we have more polish time."

"About the GRFS beta," she added. "I have no confirmation on whether it, too, is delayed. Personally, I'd anticipate it, but don't take this as fact!"

Ubisoft boss Yves Guillemot told investors during an earnings call last night that GRFS had been moved to avoid a "very competitive environment" this Christmas. He added that the extra development time was a plus.

    And this is why, in a way, I still say to this day that Assassin's Creed completely screwed up the Tom Clancy brand of games; Not, let me rephrase that: Assassin's Creed totally screwed up Ubisoft's hand of handling things, which is different. Oh well... :\

    How can it be blinkin' well "delayed" already?? They've hardly even announced it. Why do companies bother even bringing a title to everyone's attention if they clearly haven't got a clue about when it will ACTUALLY be ready? Doesn't bode well - I'm betting on September 2011 before we see it in shops. Which is a shame.

    im sure the delay is due to the release of crissis 2 later this year. maybe it could be 3d related or even ps3 wand compatible? who knows.
