Timeshift Pushed Back to 2007

This highly anticipated first-person shooter is set in the near future, but the release date is looking more and more distant.  Fumbled by Atari, and snatched from their clutches by entertainment powerhouse Vivendi Universal just days before this year's E3 conference, Timeshift deals with time travel and alternate realities.  The game's developer, Saber interactive seems cursed by old-fashioned scheduling problems and has now announced that the game will not launch until some time in 2007.

Originally conceived as a Q1, 2005 Xbox and PC release, the game was given a revised release date of May, 2006.  After a lackluster PC demo failed to wow fans, the Xbox release was scrapped.  In its place Saber issued a now broken promise for an Xbox 360 version with a release date of September, 2006.  Saber Interactive, and its new owner VU had better invest in some dayplanners and project management tools, or the "future-centric" title will find itself released as a retro game about the olden days of 2025.

Here's what Vivendi Universal has to say about the game:

Based around the year 2025 a retired colonel by the name of Albert Swift is given responsibility by the US Government for testing two of the most significant inventions of the century – a time-control device called the Quantum Suit and a time machine called the Quantum Transporter. However, before he gets a chance to carry out his experiments his laboratory is invaded by a masked man and in the confusion Swift is briefly sent back in time to 1900. Upon his return to 2025 the world he left has changed beyond all recognition. It is now Swift’s responsibility to find a way to rectify things and find out who or what is behind the changes.
