Ubisoft Delays Ghost Recon: Future Soldier, Now Coming In Early 2011

Even though Ubisoft hadn't announced a proper release date for Ghost Recon: Future Soldier, the publisher has already announced a small delay for their latest bout with interactive warfare. Ghost Recon: Future Soldier is no longer scheduled to be released by Christmas. It's now hitting in 2011.

Ubisoft revealed the news during a conference call today disclosing their fiscal year results.

According to Ubisoft, Ghost Recon: Future Foldier was originally set to arrive by Christmas, but Ubisoft has moved the game into early 2011. The game will now released between January and March 31, 2011.

The company cited a "very competitive environment," which echos similar business reasoning used by several publishers when deciding to avoid releasing against Activision's Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 in 2009. Call of Duty: Black Ops, in development at Treyarch, was recently announced for November.

Ubisoft will be showing much more of Ghost Recon: Future Soldier next month at E3.
