Despite hideo Kojima publicly stating: “I always preach to the staff, ‘You must not have a delay after a release date has been announced. There is no greater crime as a game developer’.”, Peace Walker has been put back by a few weeks to June 18th.
No clear reason has been given, but it is likely with such huge expectations on the title Konami want to be certain it will launch in tip-top condition.
Peace Walker is set ten years after the events of MGS3, and sees Snake travelling to Costa Rica to do his thing. Expect a review near to the time.
