Wargame: European Escalation, the new strategy game from the developers of the rather underrated R.U.S.E., has been delayed until the first quarter of next year. The decision to do this was a mutual one between publisher Focus Home Interactive and developer Eugen Systems, and is apparently to "ensure Wargame: European Escalation offers the best possible experience both in single player and in multiplayer."
For the unfamiliar, Wargame: European Escalation is an RTS game set in the period between 1975 and 1985 -- an underexplored era in strategy gaming. The game pits NATO, comprising the U.S. and Western Europe, against the Soviet and Eastern European countries that make up the Warsaw Pact across a series of hypothetical battles that explore what would have happened had the Cold War escalated into a full-scale conflict. Battles take place on a global scale, with Eugen Systems' impressive IrisZoom system allowing you to zoom right out to see the world map or right in to see individual units doing their thing.
There's no specific new release date as yet, but Focus and Eugen say we'll find it out in the next few weeks -- the first quarter of 2012 is as specific as you'll get for now.
