Molyneux's Curiosity Experiment Delayed & Renamed
Update 2: Peter has settled on a name. He said on Twitter:
We have a new name for Curiosity. After hours of posting, collating office discussions, asking advice from the press the consensus is... Curiosity: What's in the Cube. Not what I voted for but ho hum. I wanted to call it 'Cube of Duty'.
------------------------------
Update: Looks like a delayed release isn't the only thing holding back Peter Molyneux's upcoming project. Turns out he's going to have to change its name, too.
Molyneux has tweeted that he can't use the name Curiosity because of NASA's Mars rover.
He says that 22 Cans is currently brainstorming a new name, but it's not known if this latest development is related to the delay itself.

Original Story: Peter Molyneux's first post-Lionhead project with his new studio 22 Cans, entitled Curiosity, has been delayed slightly.
Curiosity unveiling has been now been moved back to September.
The social experiment, where players buy chisels of varying prices (including an extremely expensive diamond chisel) to tap on the same cube with a mystery prize inside for whomever registers the final tap, will be used for feedback on the psychology of social media usage that will be applied to the developers' first game.
