Game release delayed until at least April 2011
For a game that’s familiar with release delays, I Am Alive has once again been delayed – this time until at least April 2011.

Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot stated via conference call – “We have been totally re-engineering the product, so it is still on the way. It will use the Splinter Cell engine. We think it can become a very good quality product.” This statement reeks of overall project uncertainty, so I’m starting to feel a little doubtful of its release at all. The “Splinter Cell engine” that Yves is referring to will be first seen in Splinter Cell: Conviction. It also doesn’t appear that Jade Raymond (of Assassin’s Creed fame) will have anything to do with the final version of I Am Alive. I’ll try to dig up more information about the game development life cycle directly from the source (Ubisoft Shanghai) as I’m interested to see how substantial the “reboot” of the game is.
