Crave pushes three to 2003

Crave representatives told us this morning that the company was pushing three of its upcoming titles into next year. UFC Tapout 2 for the Xbox and The Lost for both the PS2 and Xbox were scheduled to come out in the fourth quarter of this year, but now all three games are scheduled for a first-quarter 2003 release.

An enhanced career mode is said to be one of Tapout 2's main features, and the extra time should let the developer flesh the career options out a bit more. The Lost's delay will give the developer, Irrational Games, time to add some new surprises to the game that wouldn't have made it in had the game remained on track for this year.

We'll have more on Tapout 2 and The Lost as soon as more information is available.
