DriveClub delayed – official statement

It’s been confirmed that the PS4 driving launch-title, DriveClub, has been delayed until 2014, following rumours that a delay announcement was incoming.

“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,” said SCE in a press statement. “The team requires more time in order to deliver on their vision, but we are fully confident the game will surpass your expectations.”

Driveclub is a new racing title by Evolution Studios, published by Sony Computer Entertainment. The game seeks to draw players into a social network, where they are encouraged to race each other and beat their friends’ high scores, unlock new cars and tracks, and compete against other players across the world for a spot on the official leaderboards.

The game was set to be a launch title with Sony’s Playstation 4 and was also to appear in a stripped-down form on the Playstation Plus Instant games collection for the PS4.
