DC Universe Online has been officially delayed by SOE until 'early 2011'. The game was due to hit on November 5th this year. However, according to SOE the delay is "a positive for DCUO".
The delay was announced in a press release, with John Smedley, President of Sony Online Entertainment stating, "As the game heads into external beta testing, this extra time will allow us to address community feedback in a meaningful way. When we get deeper into external beta, we'll be able to share more information regarding the new launch date."
This was followed up on the official Facebook site with, "Hi everyone! We understand the news of delay might be disappointing, but it's a positive for DCUO. The additional time allows us to extend beta and add more polish to the game. If you pre-order, we have some special opportunities that we’ll post about later this week. Also, we hope you are excited as we are about the PS3 Collector’s Edition (yes, we heard you)! Thanks for your continued support!"
SOE also announced amendments to the Beta:
"Players with VIP key cards and those having registered at the DCUO website will receive access on a priority basis starting as early as next week. As an added thank you, everyone that has already pre-ordered the game, and those who do so by November 15, 2010, are assured access to beta by November 30 (North America only).
"Anyone pre-ordering the game after November 15 will gain beta access one week prior to the launch date and will be able to participate in the special beta ending event entitled Battle of the Legends with the rest of the beta participants. As an additional bonus, all beta participants will be recognized post release with a special emblem for their character when the game goes live. Beginning October 7, 2010, instructions on how to qualify and receive your pre-order beta key, visit: www.dcuniverseonline.com/betakey."
