As a result of the shift to multiple platforms, the game will miss its previous release window--"holiday 2010"--and is now instead due circa Halloween 2011. "With the move to all of the current-generation systems, higher resolution art content needs to be created which takes a bit longer than our previous games," studio president Kerry Ganofsk explained to IGN.

"Given the sheer amount of quality content needed to make a game of this type, our game design scope, our team size, and the amount of time we have designated for polishing the game, we are confident that this schedule allows us to meet our expectations for the game," added creative officer Eric Nofsinger. "We don't want to rush it."
