It would seem that not even the combined powers of all of DC's super heroes could keep Sony Online Entertainment's DC Universe Online from being pushed back once again, this time to early 2011! Sony Online Entertainment announced the delay in a press release Monday afternoon and here's what John Smedley, President of Sony Online Entertainment, had to say:
"As the game heads into external beta testing, this extra time will allow us to address community feedback in a meaningful way. When we get deeper into external beta, we’ll be able to share more information regarding the new launch date."
It’s not all bad news, though. They've also confirmed that the beta will be starting as early as next week and If you’re in North America and have preordered the game already (and before November 15) you’re guaranteed to get in the beta. Those placed after that date will give you access to a "special beta ending event" in the week before launch.
It was also revealed that the PS3 will get a collector's edition similar to the one revealed for PC earlier this year, complete with the DCUO Batman statue, the limited edition Art of DC Universe Online art book, DCUO Legends Issue #0, the DCUO Prestige comic presentation of the DCUO back-story and the limited edition Jim Lee-drawn poster Version of the Issue #0 comic book variant cover.
