Originally scheduled to hit Japan on July 3, developer Monolith Soft’s forthcoming survival-action title Disaster: Day of Crisis has been pushed back to an unspecified date, leaving a 2008 release up in the air.

The title was initially announced at E3 2006, the same time as the now-canned Project H.A.M.M.E.R was unveiled.

According to Nintendo, the official reasoning behind the delay is that Monolith Soft needed more time to deliver a quality product.
