Originally set to release later this month, it now seems that El Shaddai may be arriving a bit later than scheduled. The quirky Ignition title is now listed by both Gamestop and Amazon as arriving on August 16th.

Not an official delay yet, but we'll update if Ignition speaks on the matter.

That game looks pretty trippy if you ask me. A shame it might be delayed though.

Im just glad their making it, This extra time is probably cause of all the translasting

So is the review moved as well?

Dude I really like the demo for this game. It is soooo trippy.
by Sawadashan Sunday, July 17, 2011 at 11:40 AM

If true I think this is a bad idea. The closer this game gets to the relase dates of games like skyrim, uncharted, and gears the less likely people will take a chance on such a quirky stylish game.

If the mars volta made a game this would be it.

The quote that they used in their trailer from the official xbox magazine made me laugh. "It's as if Lady Gaga made a video game."
by stayedstar Sunday, July 17, 2011 at 12:20 PM

Doh! I'm really waiting on this one!
by Andrew Sunday, July 17, 2011 at 12:29 PM

I didnt really like the demo of this game but if it gets good reviews ill get it........when the price drops lol
by Justin Poindexter Sunday, July 17, 2011 at 01:57 PM

This game looks like a PSN game, not a *** disc release... wtf
by ViRuS Sunday, July 17, 2011 at 02:13 PM

This could be good for me since my PS3 is currently being repaired...but also good cause Catherine was coming out that same day and I was going to need a japanese game fix for sure and i know i couldnt afford both at the time!
by Undertaker Adrian Sunday, July 17, 2011 at 02:18 PM

Looks like fun, shame it's coming in late.
by slapmyhed Sunday, July 17, 2011 at 02:32 PM

The demo was alright. Was kind of difficult to tell where your character was going to land after jumping, or what was a solid platform to land on, though.
by xghost777 Sunday, July 17, 2011 at 02:34 PM

I hope not it was going to be perfect with both Catherine and El Shaddai coming out on the same day as well as Angel Beats coming out on DVD.

At least I don't have to choose what to play first I guess...still sucks if true.

I wasn't horribly impressed with the demo for this game personally. Sure it was pretty, but the gameplay just felt sloppy. I found myself doing little more than hammering the attack button, jumping away, repeat. Mostly because as far as I could tell, there is no way to target lock (or target at all for that matter). The 3D platforming segments were just bad, even the 2D part felt too loose.
by Simon Says Chill Sunday, July 17, 2011 at 03:08 PM

Disappointed that it's been pushed back to August. On the plus side, it gives Catherine free reign to own the week of July 26th. On the negative side, the closer El Shaddai comes to the release of newer, well-marketed titles, it could go under the radar. I will definitely buy it, although the $60 price point may be too much for me.

thank you.
by HowlArterius Sunday, July 17, 2011 at 03:48 PM

i hope it doesent get delayed, i was going to get this and catherine on the same day :(
by Eyros Sunday, July 17, 2011 at 03:58 PM

I was quite saddened by the core mechanics of this game... such a shame the unique art is being utilized (read: squandered) in this way

NOOOOOOOOOOOO!
