Britiske Eidos Interactive bekræfter nu, at deres Championship Manager 5 ikke bliver klar i denne måned. Firmaet tilføjer deslige, at spillet vil blive “forsøgt færdiggjort” til jul, men meget vel først kan dukke op til næste år. For lige godt en uge siden, satte rygter om denne forsinkelse, Eidos’ aktiekurs under voldsomt pres. Historien har nu vist sig at holde vand, og selv den mest optimistiske fan, kan ikke undgå at være bare en smule bekymret for det britiske firmas fremtid.
Further to the announcement on 2nd August 2004, the release of the PC version of Championship Manager 5 will not now take place in October. Eidos is continuing to work towards release of the PC version of the game shortly before Christmas, although this may extend into the New Year. As previously stated, the much anticipated XBox and PS2 versions of Championship Manager 5 remain firmly on track for release in Spring 2005 and the online version will be available through subscription shortly after the PC game’s release.
