Project Cars Has Suffered Yet Another Delay, Won't Be Released Until Mid-May

I’m starting to get bored with writing this story over and over again, but here it is: Project Cars has been delayed. Again. For a game that was supposed to be released late last year, the new mid-May release date will test fans’ patience. Here’s what Slightly Mad Studios has to say on the matter:

“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. 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” said Ian Bell, Head of Studio at Slightly Mad Studios. “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. And since the gaming community is our primary focus and has always been at the heart of the project during development, we would like to offer some free content to all players as compensation for this short delay and as acknowledgement of how grateful we are. This gift, that we’re sure is going to excite fans, will be available from day one and revealed shortly. Keep an eye on our website for more info.”

While it’s admirable that these guys want to release the game only when it’s perfectly ready, it’s getting to the point now where they really need to deliver. Don’t hold your breath for a mid-May release…
