Activision’s upcoming time-manipulation-themed FPS, Singularity, shows quite a bit of promise.  The trailers so far have shown a visually impressive shooter that incorporates telekinetic abilities, a unique time manipulation system, and plenty of Russian imagery, but there hasn’t been much of a push behind the title.  It looks like it will have some extra time to build up hype, though, as Activision has announced that the game will be delayed.

Originally slated for a Fall 09 release, Singularity has been pushed back to March, 2010.  In a refreshing moment of candor and honesty, Activision stated that the reason for the delay is to give Modern Warfare 2 a wide berth, and to avoid the title getting lost in the pre-holiday storm.

"The level of excitement for Infinity Ward's Modern Warfare 2 coming out of E3 well exceeded our expectations and therefore we have decided to move Raven's upcoming sci-fi first person action title, Singularity, from 2009 to Q1 2010. We believe that the March quarter will provide a better opportunity to establish the new cutting-edge action IP as a 'must-have' title and clears the way for Modern Warfare 2 to dominate this holiday season."

Sounds logical.  I’m still not 100% sold on the title as a purchase, but the game is definitely on my radar, and a little good buzz might just push me over the edge to pre-order it.  Perhaps those extra months will allow for that to happen.
