Newsbits for 05-04-06
EA has delayed the Superman game until fall. It was going to coincide with the theatrical release, but as the "ambitious design of the free-roaming world proved challenging," it will coincide with the release of the DVD instead.
In other EA news, the company has lost the rights to the Bond franchise, which will be picked up by Activision until at least 2014. The weird bit? EA gave it up willingly. They're intentionally choosing to move away from licensed properties. I'm expecting to find the real EA executives stashed in an alien pod somewhere at any moment.
