Last week, according to GameStop's listings, the ship dates for several upcoming titles had been pushed into 2004. Today we received confirmation on the delay of one of those titles, Armada 2: Star Command. Believe it or not, this game was originally planned for Sega's Dreamcast, and it still hasn't seen the light of day.

We contacted Metro3D to get the real story on this oft-delayed title. According to the Metro3D representative, Armada 2 is still on hold, and currently has no set release date.

In development for PS2 and Xbox, Armada 2: Star Command takes place about 1000 years after the first Armada. The initial Armada attack was unsuccessful due to your superior technology. However, before they left the Armada deployed a beacon. Now, the beacon has brought a whole new enemy of biomechanical aliens into the war. It's your job as Governor of your frontier post, to take command of a ship and develop safe-havens throughout the region. Whenever the game finally is released, gamers will be able to enjoy 4-player co-op or online combat with up to 8 players.
