Kotaku just reported that four major Capcom titles—Super Street Fighter IV, Lost Planet 2, Dead Rising 2, and Monster Hunter Tri—have all been delayed, starting from April 1, 2010 and stretching out twelve months. This meshes with the recently rumored rescheduled release of Super Street Fighter IV in early April.

As for the other titles, Capcom isn’t giving any exact dates yet. Instead, Capcom simply stated that the usual rigmarole explaining the delay (competing titles; financial gain; all that jazz). So for the time being, we have no idea when we’ll all be able to shoot giant monsters with co-op partners, run through a Vegas-like city cutting down zombies, or…um, hunt monsters.

No Big Sister ‘Til 2010

Earlier today, Take-Two Interactive made the very disappointing announcement that they were pushing the release date for BioShock 2 back until the 2010 fiscal year. For those not in-the-know, said fiscal year will run from November 1, 2009 until October 31, 2010. The original release date was set for November 3 in North America, so this announcement seemed rather vague and random.

Now we have a bit of clarification. Take-Two added that BioShock 2 will definitely not release in 2009, but rather in the first half of 2010. That’s the real 2010—not some fiscal year gobbledygook. Take-Two says the delay will “provide additional development time for the title.” Hopefully, the extra time in the oven will result in more delicious gaming experience.

We’ll let you know about any further changes to the release date as soon as the info is available.
