Evolution Studios' DriveClub was originally intended as a launch title for the PlayStation 4 platform, but has since been delayed for undisclosed reasons. However, a new update from Sony suggests that DriveClub appears to be on track for release this year.
In a new statement to CVG, a Sony spokesperson said that “development of DriveClub on PS4 is going strength to strength,” which is reassuring considering the rumors surrounding the game’s development amid news that DriveClub’s game director Col Rodgers had left the studio.
"The announced studio changes across WWS have not affected the development of DriveClub or the DriveClub team, which has always had great direction and continues to do so.
"We have full confidence that the game will deliver on its PS4 promise to be the first truly socially connected racing title and we are very pleased and excited by the calibre of work from Evolution Studios.
"The progress being made on the game is spectacular, so we're looking forward to sharing an update on development, release date and videos of the game in action in the weeks to come. We thank you for your patience and assure you, it will be worth the wait."
