Ubisoft: Ghost Recon delayed into 2011

Ubisoft has revealed in its financial call to investors that Ghost Recon: Future Soldier will no longer hit around the holidays this year.

While a formal release date was never technically announced, the game has now been pushed into 2011, with the shooter hitting sometime between January 1 and March 31.

The reason behind the move, was due to what the firm called a “competitive environment”, which no doubt means it’s trying to avoid going up against Call of Duty: Black Ops in November and Medal of Honor, which although slated for October, will likely be high on the Christmas wish list.

However, those attending E3 will still get a taste of the shooter in June.

Thanks, G4.

Given that everyone who saw it noted how incredibly early in development the game looked, I can see this being a very good thing.

Whether the actual game will be deserving of such adjectives is another matter, of course.

I find many games that listed polishing as a reason for delay would eventually came out with obvious rough edges.
