SOCOM 4 Delayed Until 2011
Posted on July 28, 2010 by Oscar Gonzalez




Fans of the tactical squad shooter SOCOM 4 will have to wait until next year to get their hands on the next game in the series. Posted on the official SOCOM website, Zipper Interactive confirmed that the game will be delayed:

Some of you may have heard through your favorite media outlets that SOCOM 4 is now a 2011 title, and we are writing this letter to you, our community, to confirm that SOCOM 4 is indeed scheduled for release in 2011.

While we're certainly aware that you've been looking forward to playing SOCOM 4 this year, we don't want to take any shortcuts. Instead, we want to deliver the best and most immersive SOCOM game we possibly can and we're going to use our extra time to do just that.


As a devotee to the SOCOM religion, this saddens me quite a bit. On the other hand, this does allow me to delve into my sick side of me that wants to play Halo: Reach until I puke. One does have to wonder if Zipper Interactive and Sony realized that with the double shot of Call of Duty: Black Ops and Halo: Reach would be a bit too much for their series hence the delay.
