Ubisoft yanks Haze from release list
Remember that other time when Ubisoft revealed its release schedule for Holiday 07 and Haze (PC) was dated only a week after the PS3 version? Well, it looks like Ubisoft is now trying to rewrite history.
Because now Ubisoft has removed any date and mention of the PC and Xbox 360 versions of Haze from the list. An Ubisoft UK representative told joystick that the mysterious disappearance could be attributed to the PlayStation 3 being “the only confirmed platform for Haze.”
Not that Ubisoft ever where good at doing their marketing job, but didn’t we play this game already? After unleashing yesterday’s avalanche of release dates and promptly crushing the month of November in the process, Ubisoft has removed any date and mention of the PC and Xbox 360 versions of Haze from the list.
When we asked directly whether Haze was a PS3 exclusive or not, Ubisoft simply reiterated that the system was “the only confirmed platform.” It’s the same line we kept hearing when Ubisoft was dodging questions about the exclusivity haze surrounding Assassin’s Creed — a game which started out on “PlayStation 3 and at this time, no other platform has been confirmed.” Ubisoft later admitted a PC version would “indeed see the light some day” (the same day, actually) and then finally confirmed an Xbox 360 version to an unsurprised audience.
Personally, I think they are just pushing the 360 and PC dates out as to not compete directly with some other heavy hitting shooters on the other platforms …It might be that they don’t want to compete with …well lets see …big shooter as perhaps Halo 3 …
Basically, Ubisoft have made two relevant statements:
The first: PS3 is the only announced platform.
The second: 360 and PC versions will follow one week later.
They are probably both true.
