2K games has delayed the “PS4/Xbox One/shooting-genre defining game” Evolve until February 2015.
The reason: the team wants to make sure the game is as polished as possible before its launch, which seems to be the going quip around these things.
Evolve was originally scheduled to be released on 21 October 2014 for PS4, PC, and Xbox One.
“We are encouraged by the overwhelmingly positive response from press and fans, and believe by extending development by a few months, it will allow the team enough time to fully realize their creative vision for Evolve,” Take-Two president Karl Slatoff said.
The Take-Two team added that the February release also means the game is not wedged in among the flood of holiday titles, and may benefit from this.
Speaking in my personal capacity, they seem to have overlooked the fact that The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is also coming out in February – Evolve stands no chance of being bought by me in that scenario.
Along with Batman: Arkham Knight, The Witcher 3, The Order 1886, The Division, and Battlefield Hardline, 2014 seems to be the year of the delayed game.
Rather late and good than early and rubbish, right?
