EA Delays Superman Returns
The game based on the movie based on the comic series has been delayed. Superman Returns was originally scheduled to be released to multiple consoles and handhelds in June 2006 to tie into the Man of Steel’s return to the silver screen.
Electronic Arts’ executive VP and general manager of North American publishing Frank Gibeau explained why. “The ambitious nature of the open-world design proved to be fairly challenging, with regard to hitting the launch window for the film,” Gibeau told investors. “And we wanted to look at a long-term opportunity here with Superman, so as a result we moved the product release to the fall to coincide with the DVD at holiday. Actually, from a publishing standpoint, the DVD release at holiday is a nice combination. There are more vehicles for us to market and promote the game, and we’re going to get a better game this fall than we would have with the movie release.”
