they don't really know it seems. ubisoft seem to be pulling all the strings and poor trev and the rest of swordfish seem to be left in the dark. it would seem crazy to miss the christmas rush and higher sales around this period. we can only hope that the game does come out this year. and to sean43 just because the game isn't releasing in your perfect window is no reason to not buy the game. if it is delayed till feb there better be some marketing happening and maybe a demo
