Driver delayed until 2011

Those hoping to grab Ubisoft's next-gen reworking of Driver look away now: The publisher has announced that it has been delayed into next year.

The news comes in Ubi's Q1 fiscal results, in which it announced estimated sales of EURO 160m for the three months to June 30, 2010.

It blamed "the competitive market at Christmas" for the delay in Driver: San Francisco's release.

The title will now launch during the fourth quarter of Ubisoft's fiscal year - between January 1st and March 31st next year.
