Bioshock 2 Delayed Till 2010

Take-Two has just announced via press release that their Fat-Guy-In-Suit-Saving-Little-Girls sequel will be arriving fiscal 2010. The highly anticipated sequel was delayed to increase the performance as much as possible before release.

Chairman of Take-Two, Strauss Zelnick stated, “We recognize that our revised outlook for the balance of fiscal year 2009, due to both internal and external factors, is a disappointment. That said, we concluded that moving the release of BioShock 2 into fiscal year 2010 was the right decision for the product. We believe the result will be a more compelling consumer experience and a better performing product in the marketplace”

The delay will also give Take-Two a kick ass 2010 line up with such games as Mafia II, Max Payne 3 and Red Dead Redemption. Even though Zelnick apologizes about the delay, we can’t help but be sad. At least we can feel comfortable knowing that the extra time is being used to tweak and polish the game. With 4 studios behind this sequel, you can tell Take-Two is serious about making this game bigger and better than its predecessor. Big Sister will just have to wait a little while longer before we can pummel her crazy face in.
