Activision og Raven har netop sendt os en glædelig pressemeddelelse som fortæller at Soldier of Fortune II er gået guld.
Men.... man har endnu ikke givet os en officiel releasedato på den længe ventede first person shooter, hvor du spiller lejesoldat. Det er mest sandsynligt at spillet vil dukke op i butikkerne i løbet af et par uger, men vi kan endnu ikke love noget - desværre. Der vil i øvrigt blive sendt en singleplayer demo på gaden i forbindelse med at det fulde spil kommer i handelen.
