In a post on the official SOCOM website, Senior Producer Seth Luisi has confirmed that SOCOM: Confrontation has been delayed and will now be released on October 14, 2008.

“Unfortunately, even working late into the nights and every weekend, we’ve had to re-evaluate our schedule,” explained Luisi. “Our top priority is delivering the best SOCOM online experience possible. Tough decisions had to be made and we’ve decided to push back the release date to October 14, 2008. We just had to face the facts and do what is best for the title. Rather than sacrifice features, quality and stability, we had to do the right thing and re-adjust our schedule.”

Since I’m a huge fan of the SOCOM series, Confrontation is one of my most anticipated games of the year. After already being delayed twice, I was sure the game was going to be ready by September, but guess not. I mean, if they’ve got to take another month to make it a better game, I’m all up for it. Just hurry it up already.

The Beta should be coming out real soon, so SOCOM fans should be on the look out for that.
