Earlier this year when Raven Software’s new FPS IP Singularity<\/em> was unveiled<\/a>, I mentioned that the game “could be really frickin\u2019 cool if Raven nails the concept properly (and Activision doesn\u2019t rush the dev cycle along).” As it turns out, Activision won’t be rushing this title out the door, with confirmation coming down today that the telekinetic, time-warping PC, PS3 and Xbox 360 shooter, previously scheduled for release this fall, has been pushed to March 2010. And the reasoning is right on point:<\/p>\n

“The level of excitement for Infinity Ward’s Modern Warfare 2 coming out of E3 well exceeded our expectations and therefore we have decided to move Raven’s upcoming sci-fi first person action title, Singularity, from 2009 to Q1 2010. 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.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Releasing an unknown commodity like Singularity<\/em> in the thick of the fall\/holiday rush and thrusting it into a losing fight for consumer dollars against the likes of Modern Warfare 2<\/em> would’ve spelled sales doom for the title, me thinks. Smart move, Activision!<\/p>\n
