“1C: Maddox Games has done a great job in creating two cd’s worth of new, high-quality content that exceeded our expectations for an add-on,” said Tony Kee, vice president of marketing, Ubi Soft Entertainment. “Rather than rush a product out for the holidays, we’ll spend additional time in development to allow 1C: Maddox Games to develop the full sequel product that the content justifies. We now anticipate a launch date February 20th , 2003.”
