Zipper’s Senior Community Manager Jeremy Dunham has confirmed that SOCOM 4 has been delayed until 2010. An post of the official SOCOM Blog details the Move-enabled squad-based shooter has been delayed to allow the developers to “deliver the best and most immersive SOCOM game [they] possibly can.”
Dunham wrote:
“While we’re certainly aware that you’ve been looking forward to playing SOCOM 4 this year, we don’t want to take any shortcuts. Instead, we want to deliver the best and most immersive SOCOM game we possibly can and we’re going to use our extra time to do just that.”
Joystiq contacted Sony for comment, and SCEA’s senior corporate communications director Patrick Seybold replied that “the team is focusing on additional features which will help to deliver the most compelling and immersion SOCOM experience yet. Please look out for further updates and announcements over the coming months.”
