Paul ‘Placebo’ Statham, le Community Manager de Bohemia, explique sur un site polonais que la date de sortie d’Armed Assault dépendra essentiellement de l’éditeur :
[…] Until ArmA has been signed to a publisher we have to guess based on when we believe we will have the game complete. It also has to be remembered that some publishers might want to do a lengthy marketing campaign, whereas other publishers do little in the way of marketing, so there are lots of factors which have to be taken into consideration. In December we predicted a H1 2006 release and that probably remains the most accurate we can predict for now.
Il annonce aussi dans l’interview qu’Operation Flashpoint et son add-on se sont vendus à plus de deux millions d’exemplaires. Voilà qui devrait faire réfléchir ceux qui s’imaginent qu’un jeu moche et difficile à prendre en main est incapable de faire un carton.
