SCEA associate producer Ryan Hamlyn announced on the on Playstation.blog that PS3 action/flight title Lair will be delayed until September 4, 2007. The original release date was set for August 14, 2007, but has been pushed back due to “an extra step in QA testing to enhance community features in the game”.

Apparently, some issues that arose around the online game also factored into the decision, as the blog states:

Natural challenges that arose while finalizing the offline game to include key online features - such as leaderboards and medal systems - have led to the difficult choice of pushing back the release date.

The game, developed by Factor 5 (makers of the Rougue Squadron games), features mission-based flight gameplay in a medieval setting – on dragons. It’s been hailed as pretty much the PS3 title of the summer, making the delay quite a disappointment to bored PS3 owners. Thankfully, it’s only a short wait before gamers can take flight Panzer Dragoon style.
