USA: STALKER Clear Sky suffers delay

MCV Staff 1st September 2008 Business News

The North American release of GSC’s anticipated PC FPS prequel STAKLER: Clear Sky has been delayed for what is claimed to be ‘a few days’ following an error with the game’s CD keys.

Publisher Deep Silver confirmed to Shacknews that the initial batch of North American editions of the game failed to include a CD key – something that is needed to activate the game on a user’s PC.

Subsequently, the game has been temporarily recalled from retail. The publisher has also suggested that the error might also affect the arrival of the title on Valve’s digital distribution network Steam. No new release date has been confirmed, though the signs seem to be pointing to something around September 15th.

Fortunately, Deep Silver claims that the European release this Friday should not be affected.

[Industry news] Core Keeper’s ancient Core becomes a one of a kind gaming PC, to be won for charity

More than 4 million people have played Core Keeper, and every one of them started the same way, waking in a dark cavern beside an ancient Core that has lain dormant for aeons. Pugstorm and Fireshine Games, the game's developer and publisher, have now worked with Scan to build that Core into a real gaming PC. It is one of a kind, and it is the prize in the Global Games Draw, a new prize draw for Into Games, a UK charity that helps young people from working class backgrounds into careers in games. Every entry raises money for that work.
