Anarchy Online Shadowlands Release Rescheduled - New release date September 9th -

Oslo, Norway, August 13th, 2003 - Funcom announced today that the release date of Anarchy Online: Shadowlands has been pushed back from August 26th to September 9th.

"With Shadowlands, we are literally adding a whole new dimension to our game," explained Funcom CEO, Trond Aas. "The scope of the project is huge, and we have found that we need a couple of more weeks of testing and balancing before launching the expansion."

While fans will have to wait another two weeks for the expansion, Trond Aas is certain it will be worth the wait. "I'm convinced everyone will see the sense in our decision. The extra wait will be long forgotten once they start exploring the marvelous world of Shadowlands."

The expansion pack will include the full version of Anarchy Online, Anarchy Online - Notum Wars and Anarchy Online - Shadowlands, as well as one month of included game-time for new accounts. Suggested retail price is USD/EUR 29.99. Customers who pre-order Shadowlands prior to launch are entitled to an exclusive luxury apartment in the floating city of Jobe.
