DC Universe Delayed Until 2011

Sony Online Entertainment has announced that their upcoming MMO DC Universe won’t be released until early 2011.

According to Industry Gamers, anyone who preorders the game by November 15th will be given beta access to the game by November 30th as compensation for the delay. SOE is also promising beta access to those with VIP cards from events like San Diego Comic-Con and to those who have already registered on the DCUO website starting as early as next week.

“SOE is dedicated to delivering the highest quality game experiences possible,” says John Smedley, President of Sony Online Entertainment. “DC Universe Online is the first game of its kind, and a truly massive undertaking — the first action MMO set in the DC Universe, the first MMO on the PlayStation 3, and the first time the entire DC Universe will be accessible to the millions of fans who are eagerly anticipating its release. As the game heads into external beta testing, this extra time will allow us to address community feedback in a meaningful way. When we get deeper into external beta, we’ll be able to share more information regarding the new launch date.”
