Lionhead cancels B.C., but calls it postponed

Lionhead disappointed fans with the announcement that B.C., the prehistoric romp through man's nascent years, has been postponed (i.e. cancelled). Think about it. How often do games get postponed, and then brought back to life?

The official word on their website is as follows:

Lionhead Studios announced today that its plans for Xbox title BC have been suspended. BC was being developed by Intrepid Computer Entertainment, part of Lionhead Studios. In announcing the decision to suspend work on BC, Peter Molyneux Managing Director of Lionhead Studios said "The decision to suspend work on any games project is always a very difficult one, particularly when it is a title with the potential of BC. We hope to revive the project at a later date and will endeavour to assign as many of the team as possible to other Lionhead projects."
