According to VU Games representatives, TimeShift has been delayed. In development at Saber Interactive, the time-shifting shooter was originally set for release in October 2005 and then delayed to this Spring; it carries no release date now. Vivendi has also commented that the demo is not representative of the final product.

TimeShift Shifts Publisher

Vivendi Games has announced that it has secured the rights to publish TimeShift, an upcoming FPS in the works at Saber Interactive. The game will be released sometime later this year for the PC and Xbox 360.

Assume the role of renowned and recently retired test pilot Colonel Michael Swift, who is recovering from the tragic loss of his daughter. Desperate for an escape from his misery, Swift accepts a unique offer from the US Government to test an experimental set of time-control devices and become the world’s first “chrononaut.” During the tests, he inadvertently alters time and returns to a present changed beyond recognition. The democracy he left has become a fascist nightmare and his knowledge of the events that led to this alternate present has made him an enemy of the state. Armed with the time-shifting Quantum Suit, Swift is now on the run, on a perilous mission to fix the past, present and future.
