Heavy Rain Delayed Until 2010

The upcoming Playstation 3 Exclusive, 'Heavy Rain' release date has been changed. It's formally known release date was fall 2009 but as of now the release window will be 2010 according to Quantic Dream co-CEO Guillaume de Fondaumiere in the recent interview by GI. It's been pushed back due to many titles like Assassins Creed 2, Uncharted 2, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 and M.A.G. being released in the Holiday season.

Fondaumiere had told GI,
“Purely from my perspective, most publishers today realise that it’s not ideal to release a new IP or a new genre just before Christmas. It’s a very crowded place to be, and certain games need more space to live their life. Everybody is working on the project, both at Quantic and Sony; believe this is the right time.”
