Red Dead Delayed; Max Payne 3, Civ 5, and L.A. Noire Out By October
Take 2 announced that Rockstar’s spaghetti western epic Red Dead Redemption has been delayed until May 18. The game had been originally planned for an April 27 ship date.
In better news, the company did confirm that four high profile titles, Rockstar’s Max Payne 3 and L.A. Noire, Sid Meier’s Civilization 5, and 2K Czech’s Mafia II are on schedule to be released between August 1st and October 31st. Those dates reflect 2K’s upcoming 4th financial quarter.
However, there is a catch. The company’s released first quarter financial statement notes that “"the Company's fiscal year 2010 guidance reflects the potential movement of one of these titles into fiscal 2011.”
Given that 2K’s BioShock 2, Mafia II, and Red Dead Redemption were all pushed back from 2009 to the 2010 fiscal year, it’s probably a safe bet that at least one of the four aforementioned titles will not see the light of day until 2011.
Either way, it’s shaping up to be perhaps the most impressive lineup of games that Take 2 and its subsidiary Rockstar have released in a calendar year. Which of these games are you most excited for?
