New X-COM game delayed - UFO's on galactic detour

Those of you looking forward to the new FPS reboot of X-COM that 2K Marin is currently waiting on. are going to have to keep watching the skies for longer than first anticipated.

You'll have to postpone those monolith shooting activities to sometime well into 2012, at the earliest

In the fiscal Q2 2012 earnings report the X-COM publisher, Take-Two, have announced that they are now expecting the game to ship in "fiscal 2013", meaning somewhere between April 2012 to March 2013.
This is bumped back from the previously announced March 2012 release date.

I am actually really sad to hear this news. While I was initially (very) skeptical about a FPS X-COM game, the last showing of the game at E3 managed to impress me quite a lot, and I was looking forward to playing in this 50's Americana setting.
Especially the increased focus on research and management of your men has piqued my interest and provide a clearer connection to the X-COM games of old (the original of which has been kicking my ass).
