Journal report
BioShock 2 is delayed from the October 30 European
release revealed all of
six weeks ago. The delay is until Take
Two's fiscal 2010, which begins on November 1, 2009, though the safe presumption
is the game will be delayed from its planned November 3 release in North America
as well. The announcement is accompanied by word that Take Two is revising their
financial projections downward, and the statement from Chairman Strauss Zelnick
reads: "We recognize that our revised outlook for the balance of fiscal year
2009, due to both internal and external factors, is a disappointment. That said,
we concluded that moving the release of 'BioShock 2' into fiscal year 2010 was
the right decision for the product." There's an additional comment on
Kotaku
(thanks nin) where Take Two says the delay is to "provide additional development
time for the title."
