“Army of Two,” in which players play as one of a pair of mercenaries carrying out missions, was originally slated to be released on November 13 for Microsoft Corp’s (MSFT.O) Xbox 360 and Sony Corp’s (6758.T) PlayStation 3 consoles.

“‘Army of Two’ has potential to become a lasting EA franchise — so getting the first title right is essential,” Frank Gibeau, head of EA Games, said in a statement.

Wedbush Morgan analyst Michael Pachter said he had expected the game to do about $54 million in revenue in EA’s fiscal third quarter, which runs through December and was expected to bring the company revenue of $1.6 billion, according to Reuters Estimates.

“It’s an important game for them if they hope to establish it as a franchise,” Pachter said. “It shouldn’t have much of an impact, but the market always seems to assume the worst about the company.”
