Heroes of Might and Magic V Delayed?

GameSpot is reporting that Ubisoft has delayed the release of Heroes of Might and Magic V, possibly due to a petition started by a group of disappointed beta testers. An excerpt from their newsbit:

Little did the petitioners know that the project had already been delayed. An Ubisoft representative told GameSpot today that the company had pushed Heroes of Might and Magic V out of the March release window before the beta test even went live. However, the only public indication of this was the game’s quiet absence from the company’s list of releases planned for the current quarter, which ends March 31. A revised release date for the game is expected next week.
