Rise of the Argonauts Delayed

Eurogamer reports that Liquid Entertainment’s Rise of the Argonauts has been delayed until later this year. There is no reason given, but I suspect the steep competition in the RPG genre (Fable II, Fallout 3) might have something to do with it.

Codemasters has told Eurogamer that action role-playing game Rise of the Argonauts has slipped out of November. The plan, however, is still to launch before Christmas.

That leaves a rather small window in early December – in a Christmas period already stuffed with two of the biggest RPGs of this generation. No reason was given for the hold up.

The publisher also explained there will be no demo, as chopping the sprawling story into pieces for the sake of a 10 or 15 minute sampler would apparently not do the game justice.
