Ubisoft sent out word that the console port of real-time strategy title World in Conflict has now been cancelled; it was originally set for release in fall 2008.
"A console version of World in Conflict is not planned for release at this time," said an Ubisoft rep.
The PC version was developed by Massive Entertainment who was co-developing the console port with Swordfish Studios (50 Cent: Blood in the Sand). Following Activision’s merger with Blizzard Entertainment, the two branches of Swordfish were sold to Monumental Games and Codemasters.
The World in Conflict: Soviet Assault project was saved when developer Massive was sold to Ubisoft last November. The PC expansion is now planned for release later this month.
