We were gunning for April and the game is is pretty much finished — we’ve just finished tuning, worked out bugs, and made sure the game runs well online and complies with a zillion little Microsoft requirements. Though it’s an extremely painstaking and frustrating process at times, it ultimately ensures that the game runs well and takes advantage of all the cool Xbox 360 functionality, like friend invites, rich presence, and so on. With V8 being a full-on multiplayer title, this process gets even more involved, due to all the online-related functionality. (But the game sure rocks online!)

Vigilante 8: Arcade is currently scheduled for release on Xbox Live Arcade lkater this year, will cost 800 Microsoft points, get DLC at a later date, and comes with PS1 vehicle unlocks.
