Project CARS Delayed Until March 2015

We’re excited, heck, salivating, to get our hands on the finished version of Slightly Mad’s nearly photo-real new racer Project CARS. Unfortunately, we won’t be getting it as soon as we expected.

Slightly Mad has moved the game’s launch on PS4, Xbox One and PC  back from Nov. 18 until March 17, 2015 in North America. The game moves from Nov. 21 until March 20 in Europe.

Slightly Mad has been quite honest about the reasons for the delay, citing a competitive and crowded holiday scene in a press release. Another reason was simply to give the team more time to polish the game.

“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” said Ian Bell, Head of Studio at Slightly Mad Studios in the release. “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.”

Wii U and Steam OS versions of the game had already been delayed until some time in 2015. No concrete date for those releases has been announced.
