Ship-date is definitely going to be the new year and is most likely around the beginning of February, although that has not been fully decided yet.
It is not possible to ship before Christmas now - long story on that front and stuff I cannot disclose as I have NDA's up the wazoo. January is a really bad time to ship as getting space at retail is tough.
It's not ideal, shipping before Christmas would have made the most sales, but it's where we are.
There have been a huge number of complications with this game, mostly caused by Hip's insolvency and at a few points it looked like it might never see the light of day. Ubisoft have been hugely supportive of the game and have worked hard to get through the contractual problems. It's just a shame we could not ship for Christmas.
That's all I know.
