US Soviet Assault Next Week, Console Ports Shelved
Posted: Tue Mar 03, 2009 9:38 pm
IGN reports that console plans for World in Conflict: Soviet Assault have been canceled, quoting Ubisoft saying: "A console version of World in Conflict is not planned for release at this time." Also, the MassGate Forums confirm the recently revealed March 13 EA release date for Soviet Assault as well as the World in Conflict Complete bundle, and adds a March 10 release date for the US editions of the expansion and World in Conflict Complete. They also note a complication that prevents mixing the Steam and boxed editions of the game and add-on:
...............
The Steam versions are a bit different from standard boxed retail versions, so a Soviet Assault expansion downloaded from Steam won't run with a store version of WIC. Same thing the other way around, a Steam WIC version won't run with a store version of Soviet Assault. World in Conflict Complete will be available in the US, EU and other regions. The standalone Soviet Assault mission pack will only be available for North and South American users.
