You may have read yesterday about the rumours that DriveClub would miss the launch of the PS4. If not, check it out here.Back? Good. Well, the delay has been confirmed. The reason? The team “requires more time in order to deliver on their vision.”.
The news surfaced when President of Worldwide Studios, Shuhei Yoshida posted the following on the PlayStation Blog:
“SCE Worldwide Studios and the team at Evolution Studios have made the difficult decision to delay the release of
DRIVECLUB and
DRIVECLUB PlayStation Plus Edition until early 2014.
“This decision also affects PlayStation Plus members‘ Instant Game Collection for launch. To be clear,
DRIVECLUB PlayStation Plus Edition will still be part of the Instant Game Collection when it is released. For the PS4 launch, in addition to
Resogun, I’m pleased to announce that
Contrast, the highly anticipated game from Compulsion Games will also be available to PlayStation Plus members for free as part of Instant Game Collection.
“We understand that the delay is disappointing news, but can assure you that the reason we have made this decision is to ensure that when
DRIVECLUB launches, it will realize the next gen racing vision.
“
DRIVECLUB is a really ambitious racing title and the game is looking stunning. The extra time we’re giving the team means the visuals and overall experience are only going to get better. We can assure you that it will be worth the wait.”
The PS4s launch lineup is going to suffer from recent delays, considering that
Watch_Dogs also won't catch the PS4 launch -
