The headline pretty much says it – Bethesda bumped “Brink‘s” release date by a week, from May 17 to May 10 in North America.

“Production wrapped on ‘Brink’ earlier than we planned and we didn’t see any reason to keep gamers from getting their hands on this highly anticipated game as soon as it was ready,” said Pete Hines, VP of PR and Marketing for Bethesda Softworks. “It’s apparent from the tremendous reaction so far that people are eager to jump online and play, and if we can make that happen earlier – we’re going to.”

All together now: “Thank you, Bethesda!”
