Slightly Mad Studios’ ambitious, crowd-funded racer Project Cars has suffered another delay, pushed back form its expected April 2 release date to the rather less specific “mid-May 2015”.
The extra time will be used to polish the game. In fact, that’s pretty much what publisher Bandai Namco said the last time the game was delayed. I’m expecting some serious polish come release.
“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’s studio head Ian Bell, in a statement released yesterday. “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.”
To make up for the delay, the studio is promising some free content for all players. No details on what that might be, but Bell says it “is going to excite fans”, and will be revealed shortly.
