Bad news race fans, Project Cars has yet again been delayed!
Slightly Mad Studios and Bandai Namco have today announced that Project CARS will be available for PlayStation®4, Xbox One and PC mid-May 2015. The shift of the release date is due to the team’s continued dedication to polishing the game.
“Despite our long heritage and pedigree in making critically-acclaimed racing games, Project CARS is by far the grandest and most intricately detailed of them all. Despite therefore the game being 99.9% complete, the remaining 0.1% attending to small issues and bugs has been tricky to anticipate. We’re absolutely dedicated to delivering a ground-breaking experience and by targeting mid-May fans can be assured that’s what they’ll receive” said Ian Bell, Head of Studio at Slightly Mad Studios. “Again, we want to thank our fans for their support and patience on this matter. There’s a high expectancy from racing fans around the world that Project CARS is going to be an exciting new contender in the simulation racing space and we firmly believe gamers deserve it to be in its most complete and polished state when they come to play it on day one. And since the gaming community is our primary focus and has always been at the heart of the project during development, we would like to offer some free content to all players as compensation for this short delay and as acknowledgement of how grateful we are. This gift, that we’re sure is going to excite fans, will be available from day one and revealed shortly. Keep an eye on our website for more info.”
Another delay for Slightly Mad’s next gen racer…How much more will gamers take?
We’ll let you know once a confirmed date is once again available.
Driveclub? Is it you?
I’m starting to think that this game doesnt exist.
They just wanted to avoid the busy March game release calendar and GTA5’s release in April.
And now will be over shadowed by one of the greatest RPG’s / Action Adventure of all time? Followed by One of the Greatest Super Hero Games of all time? Excellent idea!
pretend to be surprised
So when is the Wii U version due out? 2018?
I’m just glad I picked up Driveclub for some racing fun instead of being one of those people who said “I’ll just wait for Project Cars, it’s out right away anyways”
[…] you Xbox Hub for providing us with this […]
It won’t live up to the hype. So many games in the past have gone the same way. The endless amount of shots and vids, I bet the final game doesn’t look as good. It’s common practice now to show a game, then when it’s released, it’s been downgraded. Slightly Mad Studios did the Need for Speed Shift games and Ferrari Legends, so I’m a bit 50/50 with Project Cars. Although Shift was decent, Shift 2 was a graphical mess and Legends wasn’t much better.
How many times was this delayed?
This is the third time now which is frustrating. Developers are frightened to death to release a game that might be considered unfinished after the many debacles of 2014.
I agree 100% with this but not really sure how they can go from a Autumn 2014 release to now mid-2015 if there were only a few tweaks needed. Surely that implies the 2014 release date was never ever going to be met?
I guess expectation grew and with that came more feedback from fans wanting even more.
4th delay actually? It’s just getting hard to keep track at this point….
Is it four now? haha, yeah it is hard to keep up 😉
