Just when you thought all of this holidays releases have dried up, Codemasters has announced that its action role-playing game Rise of the Arognauts will be released ... next week. The game will ship for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC on December 16 in North America.
While the game will get a simultaneous release across mainland Europe, Rise of the Argonauts won't see release in the United Kingdom until February 6, 2009. We've reached out to Codemasters PR with a big old "WTF" on this one, and we'll be sure to update you when (and if) we hear more. (Surely, it's got some splainin' to do.)
The title was original slated for a November release, but the gods clearly had something else in mind.

Though business wise this could be a good idea, since it'll be the newest game on the shelves for the last minute shoppers
I see a lot of patches in this games future.
The DS more than makes up for it though
Same here. I'm a tad worried because I will be home for break soon, but said to ship it here at college.
As for the game itself, I will wait for the reviews and if it turns out good it will show up in my gamefly queue.
The actually means of transportation is rafts pulled by turtles, hence the two month wait. Most cargo is lost in The Great Turtle Voyages of 08/09 but eventually they will arrive in London with precious cargo.
does that mean that we will soon be able to play SSBB and the first rock band?!
Also, aren't Codemasters a British company?
What's the deal with that?
