Sony delays Syphon Filter 3

Sony Computer Entertainment America has announced that it plans to delay the release of Syphon Filter 3 for the PlayStation. The company has not announced a new release date for the game, which was originally scheduled for release on September 25.

"After careful review, we felt that the premise behind the Syphon Filter 3 packaging, and the direction of its corresponding advertising and promotional push, might be too sensitive to introduce during this time of tragedy," said Ami Blaire, director of product marketing at Sony Computer Entertainment America. "Out of genuine concern for the welfare of the victims and the families of those involved in the attack, as well as empathy for our fellow Americans, the company has decided to take time to modify the marketing and advertising campaign for Syphon Filter 3."

GameSpot will have more when a specific release date is announced.
