SOCOM 3 PSP delayed to January 2010

Previously the developers had declared November 24th to be the official release date for SOCOM: U.S. Navy SEALs Fireteam Bravo 3 (holy shi-cow, that’s one damn long name). Today, posted on the PlayStation Blog, is an update, which delivers the bad news, telling us that the game has been delayed until January 12, 2010. The reasoning behind the delay is fairly simple, as they’ve [the developers] basically said that they need more time to do more marketing. Here are the official words from Mark Rogers, a SOCOM team member who posted the update on the PlayStation Blog: “The PSP title’s development is on schedule and we are extremely pleased with all aspects of the title. It’s looking and playing great…some high value visual assets (screens and video) have only recently been made available to global marketing and we have decided to move the release and allow time to get the word out to everyone. I understand that this move is disappointing to some in the community, however as a result, you will be seeing a lot more of SOCOM: U.S. Navy SEALs Fireteam Bravo 3 [Tody: Despite it being old, I still can't get over the insanity behind the creation of a name as long as that] in the following weeks! – stay tuned.”

So, unfortunately, PSP owners who were looking forward to SOCOM 3 (I’m not saying the full name again!) will now have to wait until the 12th of January 2010.
