SOCOM 4 released delayed until 2011

Bad news for all the armchair SOCOMs ready to storm the beaches and take down an unsuspecting dictator.

On its SOCOM blog, Zipper Interactive confirmed the first-person shooter will be delayed until sometime in 2011. Zipper’s statements indicate the delay is being used to improve the game:

While we’re certainly aware that you’ve been looking forward to playing SOCOM 4 this year, we don’t want to take any shortcuts. Instead, we want to deliver the best and most immersive SOCOM game we possibly can and we’re going to use our extra time to do just that.

This is a big blow for Sony’s holiday lineup, but the PlayStation 3 is still getting titles such as Gran Turismo 5 and PlayStation Move motion control.

SOCOM 4, whenever it releases, will have PlayStation Move functionality .Holiday shopping season 2010 is still shaping up to be a big one.
