ET:QW delayed until 2007
Fredrik Olsson | 06-08-02 15:34 | news
Enemy Territory: Quake Wars, previously to be released in 2006 has been delayed until 2007.
Following E3, Splash Damage and id spent weeks reviewing the status of Enemy Territory. 2006 has been a great year for us, with incredible response from the press and the community. It's also been a challenging year, as the team here has given extraordinary effort towards completing the game this year. Unfortunately, sometimes effort isn't all you need -- sometimes you just need more time. To ensure the quality we want, we've decided to push the release out of 2006 to allow for extended testing, feedback and game balancing.
