Despite finally taking the wraps off of L.A.
Noire earlier this year, Take-Two has decided to hold back the
oft-delayed game once again.
An analyst previously predicted
the delay after speaking with retail representatives, so the news
comes as a little surprise. L.A Noire was announced way back in 2005,
but has had a difficult development, to say the least. Take-Two confirmed the delay in their latest set of financials, in which
they reported net revenue of 354.1 million, a sharp increase from 2009.
They attributed their success to the Rockstar-developed Red Dead Redemption, which has sold more than 6.9
million copies worldwide. Rockstar is also set to publish L.A. Noire. Take-Two did not offer an official release date, but it can be expected
in the first half of 2011.
