Take-Two noted in its Q1 2010 financial release that their upcoming Wild West shooter Red Dead Redemption is being delayed until May across all platforms for a number of reasons. Full details within.
The game is now being moved for release on May 18 in the UK and North America, and May 21 everywhere else. Take-Two have said it'll give them a few weeks longer to polish up the game and gives a better release window for westerns.
"We've also taken important steps to improve the efficiency of our business and align our corporate cost structure more closely with our current goals," said Strauss Zelnick, Chairman of Take-Two. "Our updated outlook for 2010 underscores a prudent approach toward what we still believe to be a challenging year ahead."
"We shifted the launch of the game by several weeks into the third quarter," added CEO Ben Feder. "We believe this is the optimal time frame to release what is being hailed as the next generation of sandbox games."
