Take-Two Says BioShock 2 Sliped to 2010 to “Improve Quality”
Bummer, that about sums up the communal groan around the Internet last night when Take-Two let slip it was delaying BioShock 2 until 2010. I was busing back from London to Oxford battling a fickle Virgin Mobile USB wireless connection when the bad news blipped into my laptop’s RSS reader. Or would that be good news? According to Take-Two CEO Ben Feder, the game’s being delayed because it simply wasn’t up to snuff for a 2009 release.
“The decision to shift a release date is never an easy one, especially with a product as highly anticipated as BioShock 2,” said Feder in a statement. “We felt that it was essential to invest the additional time to ensure that this title will deliver what its fans expect and deserve.” Take-Two was leveraging BioShock 2 as a fiscal fourth quarter top-five charter. Now the game’s off the table and the company’s upped its estimated fiscal third and fourth quarter losses.
