Ignition’s ambitious biblical beat ’em up, El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron, had originally been scheduled for a July 26 release on the PS3 and Xbox 360. Unfortunately, the development gods (via Twitter) have declared “let there be a delay” and the game, which is based on the apocryphal Book of Enoch, will now be released on August 16…
the rumors are true… El Shaddai’s U.S. date slips to 8.16.11, but “Don’t Worry, Everything’s Fine.”
Destructoid caught up with the developers at Ignition and got them to elaborate slightly on the delay. Apparently, “unforeseen logistical issues” are being blamed for the delay.
