According to Take-Two Interactive's latest fiscal report, the publisher has decided to delay the release of 2K Marin's highly anticipated first person shooter, BioShock 2, to "provide additional development time for the title." Previously scheduled for release in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009, the game is now expected to launch sometime in fiscal 2010. Take-Two Chairman Strauss Zelnick offered the following comments on the delay:
"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. We believe the result will be a more compelling consumer experience and a better performing product in the marketplace. At the same time, near term retail conditions have proven to be more challenging for our business than the assumptions built into our prior outlook. We remain confident in the long term potential for Take-Two's20cc business, and our ability to capitalize on that potential through our exceptional creative talent and solid balance sheet."
Hopefully the development doesn't drag too deep into 2010. :/
