Are you staring at the headline in disbelief? We are sad to say that Socom 4 will not be arriving this year, and has been pushed back to early 2011. Were you look forward to playing Socom 4 this year? During our hands-on time with Socom 4 at E3, this title seemed to be well on track for release this year.

Jeremy Dunham, Senior Community Manager at Zipper Interactive writes, "While we're certainly aware that you've been looking forward to playing SOCOM 4 this year, we don't want to take any shortcuts. Instead, we want to deliver the best and most immersive SOCOM game we possibly can and we're going to use our extra time to do just that."

A little extra time never hurts, and it's a shame Socom: Confrontation didn't get some extra time as well.
