Gamecock Media Group announced today that the release of the upcoming Pirates vs Ninjas Dodgeball game has been pushed back until later this Spring. The team at Blazing Lizard decided to go back in and add more traditional rules dodgeball modes.
In traditional Gamecock fashion, the delay is being blamed on “pirated copies”.
“We see the irony in all this,” noted Christopher Stockman, Studio Director at Blazing Lizard. “Rest assured, we have a crack team of Ninjas on the case and hunting down all pirates. On the positive side it gives us a chance to go back and add in additional content to the game.” READ MORE
