The best news I've heard all day!  After posting our preview, in which we mention the game could specifically benefit from a few months of balance tweaks, Sega has announced the delayed release of Universe at War from this November to January 2008!

This is great news for fans for the game as underneath the balance issues lies an RTS with a lot of potential.  As Josh Wanamaker said in his preview posted only yesterday:

Universe at War: Earth Assault has some pretty serious balancing issues that cripple, what should have been, a great RTS title.  If Sega and Petroglyph could give this one a little more testing time, or ensure a patch is ready at launch - UaW could still be a compelling sell.

It's good to see a publisher do the right thing - it can only improve the bottom line for the company - and also moves the title out of the 'window of death' that is this holiday seasons avalanche of titles.

Kudos to you, Sega!
