The latest news (thanks ShackNews) reveals that Empire: has been pushed back until March.

The new game from genre stalwarts Creative Assembly, Empire wasn't a pre-Christmas debutant anyhow, the latest in the long running series previously earmarked for release on February 3rd.

The published title is set during the Napoleonic era, and features the epic battles that have made the series a veritable favourite with strategy fans.

We'll bring you more on this in the new year.
