Championship Manager 4 slips

Eidos Interactive has announced that Championship Manager 4, which is currently in development at UK-based Sports Interactive, will not be shipping to stores in Europe until the end of March. The game, which Eidos had originally hoped to have in stores in time for Christmas last year but subsequently pushed back to February, is to be the first in the phenomenally successful series to feature a real-time engine--which is apparently why the game's development is taking a little longer than expected.

A North American release for Championship Manager 4 has not been confirmed at this time. For more information, check out our previous coverage of the game.
