Some news regarding Peter Molyneux's game called "Curiosity" as the game has been delayed and will be getting a name change.
22 Cans studio announces the game has been delayed after missing its initial release date schedule but the good news is the delay will only be for a couple of weeks. The new release date is now set for a TBA September date with the actual date to be announced in the near future. To make up for the delay, a new trailer was released for the game.
The other piece of news is the game's name will now be changed although the reason is not due to trademark or delay issues but instead of the game no longer being the top preferences on Google.
According to Molyneux, the decision was due to NASA's Curiosity rover landing on Mars which has taken over as the preferred status for the word on Google's search engine. He did state the company is currently accepting name suggestions from tweets sent to their Twitter account.

"The name change is prompted by the need to have something simple to search for in Google. This worked well for 'Curiosity' but since NASA: Curiosity is now obviously generating a lot of interest we need to change the name."
