Gaming News - June 2003
Montreal, Quebec (June 19, 2003) - Strategy First today announced that
the release date for Chrome has been pushed back from early to late summer 2003.
From Strategy First:
The decision to push back the release of CHROME was based on player feedback
from the recent beta test.
“The Chrome community as well as the development team are dedicated to making
Chrome the best game it can be,” said George Chastain, Senior Producer for
Strategy First. “We’ve decided that a couple more months of dev time would allow
us to polish and include more multiplayer content that players have asked for,
so we had no choice but to push it back. After all the games we make are for
them!”
CHROME has been in development at Techland’s Polish-based studio for almost 2
years now and it made its North America debut at this year’s E3.
