Morning everyone,

After a bit of a misfire on Friday, we’re going to get the patch discussions going again today (Monday, 9/22). I’ve read several different types of chatter in the last 24 hours so I wanted to get some answers out there.

Q: If the patch is done, why couldn’t it be released over the weekend?
A: Sony and MS have regular patch release windows that they use. Weekend days aren’t a part of this window. Our patch was ‘approved’ very late Friday and missed the opportunity to make Friday night’s window.

Q: Is the patch out in Europe?
A: The PS3 patch is released in Europe. Sony released that patch late in the weekend. Because the 360 game is a worldwide game, there is no PAL patch. Once the NA version is live, the rest of the world gets it at the same time.

Q: So when is the patch coming?
A: We’re hoping late tonight. Expect it very late tonight. As soon as I have a time confirmed from Sony & MS, I’ll post it here.
