To those who were eager to blow the crap out of a Venezuelan porta-potty with a surgical bomb this Holiday season — sorry!
According to UK videogame Web siteTotal Video Games, Electronic Arts have confirmed thatMercenaries 2: World in Flameswill miss the originally planned Holiday 2007 release. The PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, PC, and PlayStation 2 title is now slated to hit shelves next year; retailer GameStopcurrently liststhe title for an April 2008 release.
There are a lot of reasons why we could be seeing a shift in the title’s release date, the least of which is the already cluttered Holiday season (I think justHalo 3should qualify as “cluttered”). Or maybe the game simply wasn’t ready to ship. But Pandemic has been developingMercenaries 2with the PS3 as the game’s lead SKU, so feel free to blame the Xbox 360 for the delay. That makes for a better story, right?
