Project Cars has been delayed from April 2nd until mid-May following a "fracas" with a producer. Okay okay, the added time is actually intended to allow developer Slightly Mad Studios more time to fix "small issues and bugs".
"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," Slightly Mad studio head Ian Bell remarked. "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,"
Bell continued: "Again, we want to thank our fans for their support and patience on this matter. There's a high expectancy from racing fans around the world that Project Cars is going to be an exciting new contender in the simulation racing space and we firmly believe gamers deserve it to be in its most complete and polished state when they come to play it on day one."
Free DLC will be offered to all players at launch to compensate players for the delay and details of the content will be available soon. Project Cars is coming to PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
