World in Conflict console canned

PS3 and 360 versions of acclaimed RTS no longer in development, Ubi confirms
Previously confirmed console versions of acclaimed RTS World in Conflict have been canned, Ubisoft has confirmed to CVG.

PS3 and Xbox 360 versions of upcoming expansion Soviet Assault - which has finally been dated on PC for this month - were originally on previous publisher Vivendi's release list.

New WiC house Ubisoft however has other plans, telling CVG that "a console version of World in Conflict is not planned for release at this time".

Ubisoft acquired developer Massive Entertainment at the end of last year.

"We are fortunate to have found in Ubisoft a publisher who shares the same values and understands our mindset. I have no doubt that our future together will offer significant mutual benefit and synergy," the developer said of the move.

Probably canned after the relatively mixed response toward End War and other RTS games like Halo Wars and Red Alert on consoles.

Maybe all the mediocre attempts at getting the RTS genre right on consoles will start to put publishers off the idea of console RTS games. I must say I've personally been very underwhelmed by what's been offered so far (apart from Herzog Zwei, that was great!)

I get a feeling that those devs don't like the idea of making WiC for consoles.
