Daikatana: Today or Bust? -- 11:50 am CST, Update by A.T. Hun

Evil Avatar pointed me to this news blurb from yesterday on IGNPC. Here's the skinny:

While investigating continuing rumors that Eidos had refused the initial Daikatana build, IGNPC managed to get in touch with sources close to the project who were able to help shed a little light on the continuing saga of the game's development. These sources revealed to us that yesterday, Ion Storm was given 24 hours to deliver a solid build to Eidos or face the reality of a missed holiday ship date. These sources were unable to confirm or deny the rumors that this deadline was the result of an initial product refusal.

While Eidos' public relations department is still telling us that the company is, "still working on a December release," it seems likely that Daikatana won't find its way into stores until sometime next year. As usual, keep an eye on IGNPC for more details as soon as they become available.

Stop me if you couldn't see this one coming down Main Street. Once again, you have to file this in the "unsubstantiated rumor" category but it certainly makes sense, given recent events and the fact that Christmas is a scant 15 days away . . .
