Your return to Rapture will be a bit delayed, as publisher Take-Two Interactive announced today that BioShock 2 won’t be releasing in the company’s fourth quarter as previously planned. Now for the bad news.

While the game was previously slated to hit European store shelves on October 30, 2009, just squeezing into the company’s fiscal 2009, the company has now moved the title to a more vague “fiscal year 2010.” The sequel was expected to arrive on these shores November 3rd, a few days after its ship date in Europe.

Now, BioShock 2 could very well be pushed into calendar 2010, missing the holidays completely.

Officially, Take-Two blames the delay on the need to “provide additional development time for the title.”

Strauss Zelnick, Chairman of Take-Two called the delay “the right decision for the product,” but calls the impact on its revised financial outlook a “disappointment.”

“The decision to shift a release date is never an easy one, especially with a product as highly anticipated as BioShock 2,” Take-Two CEO Ben Feder said in a financial release. “We felt that it was essential to invest the additional time to ensure that this title will deliver what its fans expect and deserve.”

Take-Two announced delays of Red Dead Redemption and Mafia II in May, both of which are expected to ship in the publisher’s fiscal 2010.
