Timeshift Pushed Back to 2007

I had no clue this game was still under development. I remember playing the demo sometime ago and I also remember how it was thrashed by most of the community. After that, it’s like Timeshift disappeared from the horizon; till now. The first person shooter that allows you to manipulate time has now officially been pushed back to 2007. Here’s what the people at Vivendi had to say, “Vivendi Games acquired TimeShift with the view that it would become a stand out FPS franchise. Our commitment to that vision remains, and so the decision has been taken to move the title into 2007 to give it the time and resources needed to fulfill its potential.”

If you have no idea as to what this game is about, hit the press release:

Based in the near future, TimeShift tells the story of renowned test pilot Colonel Michael Swift, who has been asked by the US Government to test two of the most significant inventions of the century – a time-control device called the Quantum Suit and a time machine called the Chronomicon. During the experiment Swift is briefly sent back in time to 1911 to plant an experimental probe. Upon his return to the present, the world has changed beyond all recognition, and his knowledge of this timeshift has made him an enemy of the state. Swift is now both on the run and on a mission to set time straight once again.

If that’s ignited your interest, you could check the demo out for yourself here. The full game will now release in 2007 for the PC and the Xbox 360.
