World in Conflict console release scrapped

Ubisoft has confirmed that the planned console port of RTS expansion World in Conflict: Soviet Assault has been cancelled.

Developed by Massive Entertainment, the PS3/Xbox 360 release was originally scheduled to hit stores in fall 2008 while under publishing rights from Sierra Entertainment.

After parent company Vivendi merged with Activision, however, many of the company’s works were ultimately shelved, though World in Conflict was snapped up by Ubisoft after the firm purchased Massive.

Despite this, Ubisoft apparently isn’t keen on following up on Sierra’s original plans, telling IGN: "World of Conflict: Soviet Assault will be released for the PC later this month. A console version of World in Conflict is not planned for release at this time."

    I'm not surprised at all, although it would've been nice to see it released for the PS3.

    Well being that it is an RTS, I think it's better left to the PC platform. I myself never palyed an RTS on a console before due to the fact that the cotrols might not be as good without a mouse.

     Shame. I have it on PC and it's a very good game. I didn't find it hard to get to grips with at all and it was my first RTS. The mushroom clouds look unbelievable.

    If you have a good PC buy this game and play it the way it was meant to be played.
