Originally set to come out sometime before Halloween, Rockstar’s “L.A. Noire” has taken a tumble into next year for reasons unknown.

A press release concerning Take Two’s earnings this quarter stated that the game is now set for the first half of 2011.

This isn’t the title’s first delay. It was originally announced for fiscal year 2008, before being pushed back to 2009, 2010 and now 2011.

Hopefully the extra work pays off in the final product. Whenever we get it, anyway.
