Red Steel 2 devs hope to release their game around March

The last time we heard about Red Steel’s 2 release date, Ubisoft announced that the title had been delayed. The game is now on track to ship sometime in the third fiscal quarter. However, the Red Steel 2 team has a more specific time frame in mind. Creative Director Jason Vandenberghe stated in a recent interview that gamers can expect the title to be available sometime around March and also elaborated on the reason why Red Steel 2 was delayed.

“You can look for Red Steel 2 somewhere around…Middle end of February, early March, something in there. We don’t have an exact date but we’re shooting for it being done around that timeframe. We got an extension outside of Christmas, which was something the team asked for and we’re really glad that we got it because it means we have the time to do what we’re doing now, which is polish the difficulty ramp across the whole game so that it’s not just cool at the beginning and then no good for the rest of it. And also, work on combining all of our pieces together, making the finish moves and the enemies all work together. So we’re using that time to good effort. So hopefully all will go well with that and I think it will.”
