Electronic Arts confirms that Mercs 2 will miss its 2007 release

Electronic Arts has today announced that Mercenaries 2: World in Flames will be launched during 2008, missing a planned '2007' release stated in a E3 2006 fact sheet from developers, Pandemic Studios.

In a statement to TVG, a UK representative at EA confirmed that whilst an exact date hadn't been finalised, "[we] can confirm it will be next year." The Christmas season is already looking congested, so perhaps it was inevitable that even some of the high-profile titles (like Mercs 2) would be pushed back to 2008.

This was going to replace GTA for me this winter. No sandbox games at all then? Well, Bully: scholarship edition? But I don't have a Wii or 360

EDIT: @lebaneseprince1:

Good point. Though I was looking forward to blowing up oil rigs, which I don't think you can do in AC. Well, you never know, actually, what with all the rumours flying around..

you can't call in carpet bomb strikes and hijack a helicopter with a grappeling hook in Assassins :(

oh well, it was gonna be my sandbox fix too, liked the first Mercs game better then GTA . it is good to see Pandemic Studios delay the game, they wouldnt delay it unless necessary and since they and Bioware are self-financed in their projects, they make the call on the game. If this was an EA owned studio, i bet the game would get the EA rush out and not as good as it could be.

shame, Mercenaries 2 was going to be my GTA fix this fall.

Hopefully Mercenaries 2 will be released early 2008. Mercenaries was an amazing and came out at the perfect time (post christmas lull)

looks like the same things happening with Mercs 2 lol. maybe we all should look at this as a good thing for gamer's mental sanity :P. this fall has lost 2 big titles, GTA 4 and Mercs 2, and the release list is still so full it might actually be a positive they are delayed, cause now next spring doesnt look like a huge drought

Only game I'm willing to buy from EA is FIFA, so I could care less about another crappy ass port.

I'll be fine playing UT3 and Haze through the holidays though...

More games going on the delay list, next year is going to a very busy year for gamers. It will be very busy compared to this year if you look at the number of games that have been pushed back and the unannounced titles.

That might just be for marketing reasons. The holiday season is simply to overcrowded. Fracture is already in 2008, I am wondering if TimeShift will stay 2007.

I was looking forward to this title but I guess it'll have to wait. There's only so many hours in a day to game anyhow.

9 - untrue ea is so

this year is anything but overcrowded. maybe overcrowded with lackluster titles that shouldn't be made in the first place.. but these last few months we've seen almost all the exciting games pushed back. the only games left on my list are titles like cod4 and maybe mass effect or ass creed if they can steer clear of the corny and deliver a mature storyline. mercs was one i was counting on to keep me interesting in gaming.. if it proved to be above the normal ea bs. bioshock seemed good from the get go but i've already gotten bored of killing big daddy after big daddy after big daddy.. everytime respawning multiple times to run all the way across the level again and again just to defeat the guy. it seemed so much better until the repetition set in. the older i get the harder it is for a game to keep me interested. i'm actually considering buying a new dresser now with the ps3 stash cause that system doesn't have a damn thing that makes me interested in buying it this year. yeah.. an ethan allen dresser. seriously.

10 - Crappy news to wake up to!

Although... I will never understand why the publishers push all their games at Christmas. I am MUCH more willing to pick up a game in the spring or summer out of sheer boredom.

But yeah, Merc 1 was fantastic! Specially for those who find GTA a little slow.

I was also looking forward to this game as well but it good that its been pushed back to 2008. Hopefully it will come out in April 2008 along side GTA IV so I can pick up both games for my 360.

ERRR....if they stayed only on PS3 it would be out by now!:( I don't care if it goes multi plat but if the game starts out on one system,they normally turn out better and they don't miss release dates.Now I get the feeling that they are struggling to put it out on PC/360/PS3 simontaniously.
