'SOCOM' delayed until next year

The European release of SOCOM: Confrontation has been delayed until early next year.

Previously scheduled for release today, Sony confirmed to Eurogamer that the game will be delayed but with no solid release date.

There was no reason stated for the delay, despite the North American version being released in October.

Developed by Slant Six Games, the PlayStation 3 tactical third-person shooter had releases on both PlayStation 2 and PSP.

The title will be bundled with a Bluetooth headset at retail.
