While FiringSquad chatted with Bethesda Softworks' spokesperson Pete Hines today they also decided to get a status update on Rogue Warrior, the long-in-development Unreal Engine 3 tactical shooter that was announced in late October 2006 but since then has fallen under a massive cone of silence. Hines told FiringSquad, "The game is still in development. We'll be talking about where it's at and what's up with it in the coming months."
BethSoft PR head Pete Hines told FiringSquad that Rogue Warrior will not be making an appearence at E3 2007. It was also mentioned that Fallout 3, the post-apocalyptic RPG that's attracting quite a lot of attention lately, will be available at E3. According to Hines, "We aren't talking about RW until we're ready to show what we've been up to." A new release date for the game has yet to be announced.
