LEGO Universe, the massively multiplayer online game set within a world constructed entirely of the eponymous blocks, has been delayed, reports MTV's Multiplayer Blog.
The reason? Someone within LEGO decided that the launch of the MMO could overshadow the release of other important product lines the company plans to debut during 2009.
"We’ve made a strategic decision within LEGO to delay the launch of LEGO Universe," project lead Mark Hansen told MTV. "It’s more strategic in relation to product launches that we have within
LEGO and not the game. We don’t want to make a big splash with LEGO Universe in the market where its success could take focus away from the other products."
The good news is that the game is still coming, the bad news is that it won't be here any time soon.
