Project Cars has been pushed back from its April 2 release date to mid-May, developer Slightly Mad Studios has announced. The delay will offer the team more time to fix a few remaining “small issues and bugs”.
“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,” said Slightly Mad studio head Ian Bell. “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,”
Bell added: “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.”
As way of compensation for the further delay, Slightly Mad has pledged to offer free content to all players. The free item will be available from launch and will be revealed shortly.
