Disney Online's PR folks have sent over an update on the progress of their upcoming movie based MMO Pirates of the Caribbean Online, confirming that the game's official launch has been pushed back from an earlier summer 2007 date:

"Disney has been in the beta testing process for Pirates of the Caribbean Online for the past several months. After a careful internal assessment of the state of game development as well as a review of external feedback, we have elected to spend additional development time and move to a fall launch. We will use this extra time to further enhance the game, respond to additional data we've collected during beta testing and incorporate more of the input we have gathered. July 16 will conclude phase 1 of the beta testing and we will resume phase 2 with a new game build in September."
