Microsoft has confirmed Kinect Star Wars – one of the titles the company pushed hard in terms of promotion upon Kinect's official name reveal was – will be delayed until 2012.
The platform holder confirmed the news to OXM and released the following statement:
Microsoft and LucasArts have elected to move the launch of Kinect Star Wars beyond holiday 2011 to ensure the full potential of this title is realized. This move applies to both the Kinect Star Wars stand-alone game and the Kinect Star Wars Limited Edition Console. We will communicate additional timing information at a later date.
The delay of the Xbox 360 exclusive sees only a select few titles being released only on the console this year, including Gears of War 3, Forza 4 and Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary.
