Rare Delays Kameo Indefinitely
Title to be released at "unspecified" time.
Rare, the one time darling of the UK development scene, has announced that it has again delayed the release of Kameo: Elements Of Power. In a posting on its corporate site, Rare has revealed that the Xbox-exclusive game, which was previously on track for release in January, will now be released at an unspecified time.
The company has stated that the game is being delayed to, "incorporate several changes and new features (some minor, some not so minor)."
But Rare was quick to reassure gamers that the game would be the better for the delay: "We can only apologise for keeping you in suspense, but rest assured that every last one of these new developments is designed to enhance and expand the overall experience."
"We want this to be the best game possible, so like any delays we may have instigated in the past we have every confidence that this one will ultimately work out for the best."
Kameo: Elements Of Power was originally planned for release on GameCube, when the developer was still associated with Nintendo, but a buy-out of the company by Microsoft in 2002 brought with it a platform change to Xbox. Read our existing in-depth kameo coverage here.
