Game manufacturer Konami has delayed the release of Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots until 2008.

According to DBTechno.com…

Konami along with Hideo Kojima have been stating all along that Metal Gear Solid 4 would be seeing a worldwide release this winter. This left many to believe that the game would be out around the time of February 2008. Konami has stated though that the new release date was needed “in order to make further improvements to the quality of th egame and provide even greater enjoyment for more customers worldwide.”

Konami still maintains that they’ll still release Metal Gear Solid 4 simultaneous worldwide… but now it’s just sometime in 2008.
