HAWX doesn't slip after all

Air combat game will be here before April.

Correction: Contrary to earlier reports, Ubisoft has not pushed Tom Clancy's HAWX back further into 2009. The game remains on track for a first-quarter release.

A mistake in the publisher's schedule (something to do with fiscal and calendar quarters) led us to belive that the game had been delayed until after April, but Ubisoft has assured us that this is not the case.

HAWX had, once upon a time, been lining up for a September 2008 release, and has been in playable form for a while - most recently at the Eurogamer Expo held in late October.

Tom Clancy's HAWX is in development for PC, Xbox 360 and PS3.
