Raven’s Singularity project stalls again

Raven’s Singularity project stalls again

Activision’s sci-fi FPS, initially set for a ‘fall 2009’, no longer has a release window

American studio Raven Software will not see the release of its sci-fi FPS Singularity in the first calendar quarter.

The move marks the second known delay that has affected Activision’s Xbox 360, PS3 and PC title.

Singularity was initially scheduled for a “fall 2009” release, before being pulled back to the first calendar quarter of 2010.

At the time, an Activision spokesperson claimed “we believe that the March quarter will provide a better opportunity to establish the new cutting-edge action IP as a ‘must-have’ title and clears the way for Modern Warfare 2 to dominate this holiday season.”
 
Activision have since pulled the game’s release window again, with no clarification on when the title will see light of day.

A company spokesperson told Bigdownload that there was no launch date specifically given to the game.

Speaking to Develop last year, Singularity producer Kekoa Lee-Creel said that Raven software was “up against a technological barrier, so the choices we make have to be smart ones.”

The game allows set objects within the game to be manipulated in different states of time, resulting in a range of impressive alterations player can make to in-game objects.

Doesn't Activision own TimeShift? Wouldn't it have made more sense to use the team that pulled that off for this? Maybe then the wouldn't be delayed over and over again...
