Metro: Last Light delayed until early 2013
Revealed during financial quarter review
Lots of news surrounding THQ news these days, specifically resports of dire financial straits and major internal changes. Just yesterday, THQ revealed that CEO Brian Farrell would be receiving a 50 percent pay cut, while 240 unlucky employees will be losing their jobs.
In January, the publisher announced plans to drop kids games and refocus on "core" money-making franchises like Saints Row, UFC, and Darksiders, plus promising IPs. At least we can be certain the Metro series is safe, but yesterday's financial report also confirms Metro: Last Light's delay.
Originally slated for a late 2012 release, Last Light has been pushed back to early 2013, which Farrell attributes to developers needing more time to "enhance and polish the gameplay of this hidden gem."

This is a game I'm very much looking forward to. I loved the first and hope that they're truly polishing it up (something the first could have benefitted from quite a bit) and it isn't just a THQ problem.
