Earlier scheduled for release in mid-October, the first person shooter game will now hit PCs on 22nd of November. Released date for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 version of the game is yet to be decided.

Chief creative officer Davor Hunski said that game needed extra time to tune the gameplay and do away with any technical issues at launch. He added that more fighters could be added to the hordes of enemies in the game.

Announcing the delay in the release of the game, Hunski said, "We did some reassessments. and determined that we would want to do some more gameplay tuning, bugfixing and optimization - more than would be possible within the given timeframe."
