Report: PS3 Child Of Eden Delayed To September

The PS3 version of Tetsuya Mizuguchi's ethereal shooter Child of Eden has reportedly been delayed until September, months after a planned June 14 release for the Kinect-powered Xbox 360 version. IGN reports that Ubisoft has set a new target for the PlayStation Move-powered version of the title, which is heavily inspired by Mizuguchi's cult classic Rez. The Xbox 360 Child of Eden was a standout part of Ubisoft's E3 press conference last year, becoming one of the most talked-about planned titles for the newly unveiled Kinect. The title was nominated for Best Original Game and Best Motion Simulation Game by the E3 Game Critics Awards, but lost both selections to Harmonix's Dance Central. After viewing a demonstration of the game earlier this month, Gamasutra's Simon Parkin said it had a "trance purity that... heave[s] and build[s] to an overwhelming climax of sound, music and art," as shown in a new trailer for the title. Microsoft has reportedly sold 10 million Kinects through the beginning of March, compared to 8 million reported shipments of PlayStation Move controllers through the beginning of April.
