PS3’s Darkness delayed

Take 2 owned publisher 2K Games has confirmed that the PS3 iteration of it’s comic-based FPS The Darkness will not arrive alongside its Xbox 360 compatriot this Friday, and will instead hit UK retail on July 20th.

No reason has been given for the decision, with the region-free PS3 version arriving on time in North America tomorrow.

The Darkness, which is developed by Starbreeze, the team behind the universally applauded The Chronicles of Riddick on Xbox, is based on a comic-book series of the same name, and has already been at the receiving end of widespread critical acclaim.
