Sacred 2: Fallen Angel has been pushed back on consoles by maker's Ascaron and Koch. The game was due out in time for the festive season but will now debut in the first quarter of 2009 for the and the 360.

The version of Sacred 2 will however still make it out in time to fill stockings, the new set to land on November 7th as originally dated.

Neither Koch nor Ascaron have offered any reason for the slippage, but it is plausible the new role-player is simply being re-scheduled to avoid a busy festive period - with big name RPGs like 3 and 2 already set for consoles.

More shortly.
