We have just learned word that Capcom is delaying Lost Planet 2, Super Street Fighter IV, Dead Rising 2 and the North American release of Monster Hunter Tri into a 12-month period starting on April 1, 2010.
A forecast revisions document reveals that all four titles will be pushed back to the company's 2010 fiscal year (staring in April, ending March 31, 2011) and spread out over all four quarters of the year. The document lists the reasons for the delays as follows.
Avoid competing with the major titles that other companies plan to introduce in the 4th quarter
Preserve the value of Capcom's titles and maximize sales volume
Expand the lineup of titles in the next fiscal year and afterward
No concrete release dates are listed in the document, but earlier in this week's Famitsu Magazine, it was confirmed that Street Fighter 4's new release date is April 1st.
Even though more details have not been released, Dead Rising 2 may not hit the shelves until August 2010, at the earliest.
On another note, I'd like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas Eve and be safe!
