Pi Studios has nearly finished their work on bringing the classic shooter Quake 3 Arena to XBLA confirms id’s John Carmack.
The title was officially confirmed at QuakeCon 18 months ago, and teasingly leaked by the ESRB before that. Quizzed on the delay, Carmack just pointed out that ”different things” happen.
”…id’s John Carmack assures us that Pi Studios – developers behind the Xbox Live Arcade release of classic multiplayer shooter Quake 3 Arena – is “actually very close to finishing that up.” He didn’t identify any specific reasons for the delay,” reports Joystiq.
Carmack said the Pi dev team had ”different things come up at different times” like having to ”shift people onto different projects.” There’s no release date for XBLA’s Quake 3 Arena.
