Unreal Tournament 3 And other Midway games Delayed!

Linkin Park Fan | October 03, 2007 | News | Playstation 3 
A while ago a rumor spread that Unreal Tournament 3 will be delayed but it was passed off as nothing. Now, Midway has released their press release with a financial update. On it they state that some of there games are delayed until 2008. The games that are being delayed are: Unreal Tournament 3, a next generation installment of the NBA Ballers franchise, TNA iMPACT!, and The Wheelman.
David F. Zucker, president and chief executive officer, commented, "While we regret that these delays will cause us to lose some valuable holiday sales in the near term as well as shift revenue for some of these titles out of 2007 and into 2008, we remain confident that our technology strategy and product plan position us to grow both revenue and market share as we move into the heart of this console cycle. Looking ahead to 2008, with our core technology platform now in place, we expect to release a number of titles, including already announced console versions of Unreal Tournament 3, a next generation installment of our NBA Ballers franchise, Wheelman, and TNA iMPACT! the video game. We also expect to release several as-yet unannounced titles such as next generation versions of our hit franchises Blitz and Mortal Kombat, and two exciting new ambitious open world games. We intend to give more details on our 2008 release schedule in the near future."
