Bodycount Delayed

It has been announced that Codemaster’s upcoming game ‘Bodycount’ has been delayed until early summer 2011 and Adrian Bolton, the general manager behind developer Codemasters Guildford, has left the company.

Codemasters CEO Rod Cousens had the following to say:

“The remit within Codemasters is not to compromise the quality of any content we publish. We’re not prepared to compromise the game.  In common with other software publishers, has that resulted in delays? It’s absolutely resulted in some delays.

People have a habit of reading into it, and two plus two becomes five, but we plan to publish the game in early summer next year and we’re not being any more specific than that because we’re not prepared to compromise on the quality.”

In terms of Bolton leaving, Cousens said: 

“Someone will fill the void. I don’t see it as any threat to either the well-being of the product, the well-being of the studio or the well-being of the company. I don’t think it’s life threatening.”
