Obsidian explains 'Alpha Protocol' delay
Developer Obsidian Entertainment has explained why its espionage RPG Alpha Protocol has been delayed until spring 2010.

Speaking via the game's official forums, PR exec Matthew Rorie revealed that the Sega-published title has been put back to help it achieve "the greatest success possible".

"I don't think I should extrapolate on the press release too much at this time; just keep in mind that, in the end, this is going to help Alpha Protocol achieve the greatest success possible for it," he wrote.

"It sucks that it won't be coming out for a while, but it'll be awesome when it does."

Studio head Feargus Urquhart previously revealed that he is happy with Sega's decision to postpone the game's release, as it gives it "the best chance at becoming the publishing success that we at Obsidian and our partners at Sega are striving for".

Alpha Protocol is in development for PC, PS3 and Xbox 360.
