Project CARS by Slightly Mad Studios delayed to March 2015

Slightly Mad Studios and its Publisher Bandai Namco announced that the Project CARS release date has been postponed to March 2015. Ian Bell who is head of the Studio explained that the decision to reschedule the Project CARS release has been made out of commercial awareness. Releasing the title in a period with no big competitive releases, grants the title a bigger chance of success and visibility.

This delay will also enable the Project CARS development team to further polish and finetune the title.

 

Project CARS project director Andy Garton statement:

“This delay has come about because a couple of other big games have announced they are shipping around the same time as our planned first date,” Garton wrote. “We know it might be a little hard to believe but this would have had a very significant impact on our initial sales.”

Head of Studio Ian Bell statement:

“Our goal has always been to deliver a landmark title that encompasses the wishes and desires of racing fans from all around the world; something with features and content powered by the community that provide a truly unforgettable and pioneering experience.”

“Whilst a tough decision to make, the change in release date allows the game the greatest chance of success and visibility, and the opportunity to polish the game even further to the high standards that both ourselves and our community demand and expect. We’re eager for you all to see what we’ve been working on in just a few months.”

 

Project CARS will be released for PC, Sony Playstation 4 and Microsoft Xbox One on March 17 (USA) and March 20 (Europe). You can already pre-order the Project CARS Limited Edition over at http://www.projectcarsgame.com/preorder
