Ubi Soft sends word that due to the recent acts of terrorism in the United States, they are postponing the release of Black Thorn, their Rogue Spear Expansion, until further notice. Here's the press release:

UBI SOFT POSTPONES RELEASE OF TOM CLANCY’S ROGUE SPEAR: BLACK THORN

SAN FRANCISCO, CA September 17, 2001 Ubi Soft Entertainment announces plans to delay the release of Tom Clancy’s Rogue Spear: Black Thorn, out of respect for the tragic events that took place on Tuesday, Sept. 11th.

While Tom Clancy’s Rogue Spear: Black Thorn features a very strong moral component and realistic portrayal of the fight against terrorism, Ubi Soft has decided to delay the release of the game and modify the content to avoid stirring emotions unnecessarily and unwillingly offending the public.

As a result, the game’s release will be postponed from the originally scheduled date of October 9th until further notice from the company.

Tom Clancy’s Rogue Spear: Black Thorn’s official web site will remain online. People can go there to participate in forums, check out links to fan sites and get the latest news and media about the game. http://www.redstorm.com/blackthorn
