Rumors that surfaced on Kotaku pointed to Driveclub being delayed, but neither Sony nor Evolution Studios will confirm or deny the rumor.<\/p>\n

It began when games website The Same Coin posted an article claiming that a source close to the website leaked that the game was delayed, but the source warned, “Treat this as 100% rumour for now, hopefully it will be false.”<\/p>\n

Later, a Kotaku writer attending a hands-on event in San Francisco where Driveclub was one of the titles on show was told that the game was pulled from the event, ostensibly due to “a scheduling conflict.”<\/p>\n

None of the Sony representatives at the event would comment on the rumor. A second source close to Kotaku confirmed that the rumor was true.<\/p>\n

On Twitter, Driveclub design director Paul Rustchynsky announced that he had no new Driveclub information to share, as he had been away from work for a week.<\/p>\n

More sources appeared on the NeoGAF forums, where Peter “famousmortimer” Dodd claimed that a source close to him acknowledged the rumor and noted that Sony was looking for a new game to add to the Playstation Plus Instant Games Collection for subscribers to replace Driveclub.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n
