Project CARS delayed to 2015

It was previously revealed that Project CARS was to release this year in November, but as of today that is no longer the case.

Bandai Namco and Slightly Mad Studios decided to shift the release date away from the ultra competitive holidays to Spring of next year.

With an extra four months on their hands, Slightly Mad Studios will have plenty of time to add some extra polish to their racing game. Last we heard from the studio, they were working on optimizing the resolution for Project CARS on the Xbox One – maybe we will see it running at 1080p when the game launches.

Commenting on the delay, Ian Bell, Head of Studio at Slightly Mad Studios said it wasn't an easy choice, but the best choice:

“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.”

Project CARS' new release date for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC is March 17, 2015.
