Pandemic Studios free-roaming shooter Mercenaries 2: World In Flames looks like it won't make its previously planned ship date of holiday 2007. According to CVG, the game has been pushed into 2008, with retailer Gamestop backing up that claim, informing customers today that it has been delayed to April of next year.

Mercenaries 2 publisher EA did not provide an official reason for the delay to the European outlet, but I suspect dev kit eating goblins were involved. While most delays are a good thing ultimately for gamers because it afford opportunity for polish, this one is doubly beneficial, giving us more cash to spend on the other bazillion must-haves this season.
