Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising later than expected

Codemasters' Operation Flashpoint not-a-sequel, Dragon Rising, was originally slated for Summer 2009. Judging by the newest trailer, released today, that dragon is proving harder to rouse than Codies previously estimated. At the end of the new "Skira Island" video -- which, by the way, is unusually mellow until the blowin'-up-tanks part, a "Fall 2009" date is given.

For a (guess at a) more specific date, we looked to retailers. GameStop lists the game's release date as September 1, while Amazon lists September 30. We've inquired about an official date with Codemasters, but until then, we can guess that it's somewhere in the "September" area.
