Ubisoft announced today that the upcoming PlayStation 3 shooter, Haze, would be released across Europe on May 23.

The game’s release has been the subject of much debate in recent months, with the title having endured numerous releases dating back to late 2007.

Only recently the game was pinned down for a May 22 release, with Ubisoft later retracting the statement just days later.

For more information on the game, see our hands-on preview with the title from Play.com Live here.

    The hype for this game has been lost! If it launched last year when it was supposed to, it would have sell like Coca Cola! Now, I dont see the same hype in the comments, videogame websites, nowhere... I hope not but I think this game will fail! Still, I´m thinking of buying if a demo comes first of course.

    Haze dated.. not dated. Haze exclusive, I mean not exclusive, oops no timed exclusive, oops no really exclusive. Haze delayed, no not this time, yes delayed.

    Hey Ubisoft it's the game that's called HAZE not the marketing campain!

    I'm glad the hype has died, now we'll play the game ourselves and judge it with low expectations. hype kills games i.e lair/ kane&lynch/ need4speed/ pes 08 to name a few

    Yeah the hype really died man. How can you think about Haze when you are playing GTA4 and are days away from maybe one of the biggest games ever that will live up to the hype. I see this game selling when it is 30-40 dollars new.

    I don't care what the date is for HAZE, as long as it's a date in May, that's all I care. If that game get's pushed again I don't know what I'll do.

    The hype has died indeed but let's hope that these delays will lead it will be a solid product and a great ps3 exclusive which will turn heads. Lets hope the delay's are a good thing.....

    Still looking forward to this game!

    IMAGINE: Haze gets released with hype and anticipation at an all-time low. Then the reviews start coming in... 5 out of 5, 9.7 out of 10, 9.3 out of 10, 4.5 out of 5 "The best FPS online experience on the PS3" "Gripping storyline and awesome co-op" "PS3's answer to Halo 3" Hehe, oh come on, it could happen.

    Just give to us during May, don't push it back Free Radical!

    Hope they stick to this date, and I hope (more importantly) that us Australians get it the same date Europe does.      I personally am hanging to play this game, and I know I will enjoy it, as I have with EVERY other Free Rad FPS.  They are the kings of console FPS's due to thyeir silky smooth gameplay, framerates and multiplayer fun.
