Codemasters has confirmed that Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising has been delayed from this summer to this autumn.
Explaining the slip, executive producer Sion Lenton said that the extra development time would enable the team to “create the best possible experience”.
Dragon Rising, a hardcore military FPS due out for the Xbox 360, PS3 and PC, is set on a fictional 220km squared island called Skira, situated just off the east coast of Russia.
“Skira makes for an immense and, with the latest visual pass, a magnificent battlefield; we’re exceptionally proud of the build so far,” said Lenton.
“Creating this vast island, populated by unscripted AI military forces, is no trivial matter and so, to get this absolutely right, we’re now investing additional development time. We’ll be working right through the summer to deliver all formats this autumn and create the best possible experience that people will want to enjoy again and again.”
To help you over the disappointment, Codies has released a brand new gameplay trailer, called Welcome to Skira, which you can see in full 720p glory right here.
