Another major MMORPG has left the 2007 release calendar, after developer Funcom regretfully announced the delay of Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures by almost half a year. Therefore, the game will no longer come out this autumn, but only on March 25, 2008, surrendering to Pirates of the Burning Sea the (purely subjective and arguable) title of most anticipated MMO in the second half of the year.
The decission was encouraged by some recent Beta feedback, and the reason behind this new irritating delay is the still unsatisfactory quality of some aspects from Age of Conan - "especially when it comes to the entry barriers", from what the Norvegians at Funcom say.
Another possible release date surfaced over the weekend is that of Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. From the statements made by David Tyler (Activision senior brand manager) at a recent press event, it looks like the PC, PS3 and Xbox 360 versions will be released in Europe on November 9 - even earlier than announced by Activision UK (namely winter of 2007). This is not entirely official yet, so... we'll see.
And finally, Square Enix dropped us a note that the Final Fantasy Tactics: The War Of The Lions remake will launch for the PSP on October 9. The game prides itself with never-before-seen cinematic sequences, an entirely new English translation, and multiplayer features, among others. It doesn't sound bad at all, but I still think that Final Fantasy Tactics A2: The Sealed Grimoire for the Nintendo DS is a bit more tempting. Whenever it comes out...
UPDATE: A fresh communique that announces the opening of a new Codename Panzers: Cold War website, inadvertently informs us about a delay for Stormregion's RTS game, from November 2007, to Q1 2008.
