So, there's good news and there's bad news, die hard fans of
Destroy All Humans. (Yes, we're talking to both of you.) First off,
as previously rumored, a third
Destroy All Humans subtitled
Path of the Furon is in the works for the PS3 and the Xbox 360. The bad news? Well, it's just been delayed from the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2008 until FY 2009, meaning you can expect it between April 1, 2008 and March 31, 2009.
The news came from a fiscal outlook from
THQ, in which
Frontlines: Fuel of War on PS3 and
de Blob for the Wii were also moved into 2009. In completely unrelated news from the same release,
Stuntman: Ignition and
Juiced 2: Hot Import Nights are performing worse than THQ expected, despite their
impossibly sexy titles.
[Update: A THQ staffer wrote us and said that Destroy All Humans: Path of the Furon will actually be coming in FY 2008, but the profits will be realized in FY 2009.]

2009? Are you sure you don't mean 2008?
megaStryke @ Oct 23rd 2007 9:44AM
I'm talking about Frontlines and de Blob, that is.
megaStryke @ Oct 23rd 2007 9:52AM
Allow me to shoot for a hat trick. Why in the hell would de Blob, such a simple game based on a FREEWARE title, be delayed so much? Are they getting the blob physics "extra perfect" or something?

Coming off how ugly the Frontlines BETA plays, I could almost believe 2009. Freaking beautiful game, but a programming mess.

Hey dude, I heard you mention you played Phantom Hourglass online, I'd like to play with a fellow Joystiqer :D
My friend code is 073128476137, what's yours?

Fiscal year 2009 is different from the actual year 2009.
NATO_Duke @ Oct 23rd 2007 9:49AM
THQ - Juiced 2: Hot Import Nights is performing bad because it is pure crap. No focus groups here needed folks. Next time you attempt to make a game, stop when you realize that the ip is tired, overused, and lame. That should have been during the pitch meeting.
megaStryke @ Oct 23rd 2007 9:53AM
Funny because isn't this game in the top ten sales chart over in Australia and the UK and what-not?
NATO_Duke @ Oct 23rd 2007 11:21AM
and? Are you disputing that its crap?
megaStryke @ Oct 23rd 2007 2:03PM
Not at all. It just seems to be SELLING very well, so I don't understand why THQ thinks it isn't meeting or exceeding expectations. What? Did they expect it to beat Halo 3 or something?
Chris @ Oct 23rd 2007 9:52AM
Meh, what does it matter. The only game I care about in that list is Destroy All Humans, but I don't own a 360 or PS3. So whats the point.
Jerk Face @ Oct 23rd 2007 9:54AM
Are you the guy from the picture?
Steve @ Oct 23rd 2007 11:32AM
I like Destroy All Humans. I played the first but not the second, and I'm looking forward to the Wii version. (Which I think was also delayed.)
Some of us just really like games that try something new, even if it's just a difference of perspective. "The last human defending the earth from aliens" has been done to death, and I don't care if I never play another game like that. So I'll forgive DAH its flaws and have fun just playing it.
DemonGSides @ Oct 23rd 2007 12:09PM
I'm in the same boat as the above.
However, I didn't get the second, because I had just got a 360, and wasn't up for paying money for =old= games.
But i'd at least give the new DAH a chance.
FOXHOUND @ Oct 23rd 2007 9:57AM
*sigh* I wish they'd just start posting the year their games will be released instead of the month. At least then, I wouldn't get my hopes up.
Not that I give a damn about the aformentioned games in 'this' topic, but in general.
robert @ Oct 23rd 2007 10:35AM
is that hulk hogan having his dignity removed by an alien?
Marty @ Oct 23rd 2007 10:49AM
Destroy All Humans is a franchise now?
I guess it's kinda like Fantastic 4 - who cares if the first one bombs?
gonk @ Oct 23rd 2007 11:11AM
i never even played one of those destroy games
Word of the street(IDF-Digital Ruler). @ Oct 23rd 2007 11:35AM
Actually I do give a crap about Destroy all humans,I hear the first one was rad.
2009? for Real? What are those titles for the next Xbox or something?
Brandon @ Oct 23rd 2007 11:46AM
What about DAH Big Willy is that atleast still on track?
Brandon @ Oct 23rd 2007 11:48AM
To those that think it is the year 2009 it is really fiscal year 2009 which begins April 1 2008 for THQ
LAZoftheTamarinds @ Oct 23rd 2007 3:52PM
Destroy All Humans! is Awesome in my opinion. I hope they improve the game during all this extra time. Hope it has online Multiplayer.
Mark @ Oct 31st 2007 9:04PM
Only Destroy All Humans: Path of the Furon, the next-gen-only FOURTH game was delayed. DAH: Big Willy Unleashed is STILL coming out on Feb. 14th, 2008 for PS2, PSP, & Wii.
