Haze release date announced

Posted on March 26th, 2008 at 13:59 EDT

Ubisoft has decided to make another release date related announcement today, and this time it’s about the notoriously delayed Haze.

The PS3 exclusive (or so we think) will be available on May 22. The FPS was originally scheduled for release last year, but Free Radical claimed it needed more polish before release. Which was probably a good thing, given that it was up against the excellent Call of Duty 4.

Haze will feature single and four player co-operative play. Its unique selling point is its use of the drug 'Nectar', which creates big twists in the gameplay. For example, overdosing the enemy on Nectar may cause them to start killing each other.

May 22 means it will be released between GTA IV and MGS4. Assuming it's an impressive game, expect a busy few months of gaming ahead of you. We'll have much more information on the title as we approach its release.

Ubisoft has revealed a more accurate release window for its upcoming FPS, Far Cry 2. The publisher disproved recent rumours of a delay by announcing that the game will a...

Well, this sounds awesome, finally Haze is dated and this time it's going to be released. I know I'm getting Haze regardless of reviews, but I still hope that it get's good reviews though. The last thing I want is a PS3 exclusive (supposedly) get a low review score. I think that the delays for Haze kinda killed some of the hype for game. Anyone that loves shooters and has a PS3 should pick this game up regardless. I can't wait to try out that Nectar thing in Haze.



If Haze doesn't stay exclusive, it will most likely be released on the PC, but I would rather see Haze released on the PC than the Xbox 360 though, the last thing I would want is for Xbox fans to get their hands on it. Maybe if Haze sells well enough, it will stay exclusive. I guess we'll just have to wait and see

Damn, the recent screenshots really impress me. I hope FRD capture some direct feed gameplay footage (with someone SKILLED playing) from some new areas of the game.

@AclayPS3: I agree, i would rather have PC people have Haze than X360. I really hope this will stay a complete exclusive, even if it is delayed over and over again. Knowing Ubisoft though, they are kinda the prostitutes of videogames, (give em' enough money, they give you a game) for example: Assasins Creed!!! (no real offence to ubisoft)

I can't wait to play this game I just hope Ubisoft stays true to their word and doesn't become profiteering gluttons like Capcom has lately (Devil May Cry and the Metal Gear series both Sony exclusives till the Micro-Whore$ came along).

Already have my copy pre-ordered and paid for. My only concern is will I be able to pull away from GTA 4 long enough to play. The four player co-op is what excites me as that was the only thing missing from COD 4.

I really don't know what to think about Haze anymore. Unless it's a gem, it's not gonna matter. Free Radical is great, but they haven't shown what they can do this generation, so I wont judge until I play. I really hope it's good, I ran my mouth to my PS3 hating friend about Haze like 6 months ago, then it got delayed and now I really don't wanna look dumb if it gets bad reviews. The worst part is that if it only gets 'decent' reviews, it's still gonna be a failure because there are so MANY 'decent' FPS out. At least third person games can stand out using the character to add to the story.

Ubisoft can't keep a date to save their life.  It'll be gone soon enough.
