Universe At War: Earth Assault Delayed in Europe (Updated)
by Chris Faylor, Oct 01, 2007 1:47pm PDTUpdate: A member of Petroglyph's staff has elaborated on the delay, explaining that it is currently limited to European regions. Based off the comments, the PC version of Universe at War is still on track for release in North America this year, with the Xbox 360 edition following in 2008. Shacknews has contacted Sega for comment, but has yet to receive a response. Original Story: The PC version of Petroglyph's Universe at War: Earth Assault, originally scheduled to arrive this year, has been delayed into next year. Both the PC and Xbox 360 iterations are now slated for a January release. "The new release date means that both the PC version and Xbox 360 version will launch closer together," Sega told CVG, "allowing gamers to enjoy the full experience of this fantastic RTS from acclaimed developer, Petroglyph."
When released, Universe at War will be among the few games to support cross-platform multiplayer, allowing PC and Xbox 360 owners to face off against one another. A closed multiplayer PC beta of Universe at War is currently underway.

Bought it right after launch.. but to be honest - i haven't really played it enough.
Anyway - i hope Petroglyph will do well on this, and was glad to hear that Sega gave them the go-ahead and freedom to create a brand new IP of their own choice. Thats always sounds promising.
