As part of its revised revenue and earnings guidance for fiscal 2007, Take-Two has announced the delayed Manhunt 2 has been completely removed from its current fiscal year schedule, ended October 31. What's more, the game does not appear on the company's fiscal 2008 line-up.

This week Rockstar filed an appeal to the British Board of Film Classification to overturn the decision to effectively ban the game in the UK. Over here in the States, the Entertainment Software Ratings Board handed Manhunt 2 the dreaded "Adults Only" (AO) rating, meaning retailers would refuse to carry the title and manufacturers would deny it access to their consoles. Aside from verifying the delay, Rockstar has been mum about its plans for the game in North America.

Manhunt 2 was last spotted floating in some nebulous, bizarro dimension.

I think from a political point of view, this makes sense for Take 2. If the company decides to delay the game as much as possible, then perhaps the whole fiasco of a few weeks ago will be mostly forgotten, and Rockstar can show off their new, edited Manhunt 2 to a less judgemental audience.
