Splinter Cell Conviction and Red Steel 2 Delayed Amongst Other Ubisoft Games

14
The growing pains of Splinter Cell: Conviction continue, as Ubisoft has once again postponed the oft-delayed stealth-action game alongside several other titles.

Both Splinter Cell: Conviction (PC, Xbox 360) and Red Steel 2 (Wii) have been bumped out of 2009, and are now expected to release between January 1 and March 31, 2010. Conviction was originally due in Q4 2007, with at least four delays now under its belt.

Also delayed were the new Ghost Recon and I Am Alive. Once due between January and March 2010, both are now expected between April 1, 2010 and March 31, 2011.

"We are disappointed that we have to postpone the release of several major games but we consider that this choice is the best one in the long-term interests of Ubisoft," CEO Yves Guillemot explained in a statement.

      Yeah, can't publishers just rush out shit games like they used to and hope no one reads gaming magazines in time to find out?

        Starcraft 2...probably, and there's got to be 3 or 4 titles like Singularity that I can't think of right now. Alan Wake perhaps?
