News: Bandai Namco and Slightly Mad Studios have delayed Project Cars into mid-May but promise a gift to those gamers who purchase the game.

Project Cars, the racing game coming from Bandai Namco and Slightly Mad Studios, has been delayed yet again. Right now they aren’t giving us an exact date but have said the game will be coming out sometime in mid-May. This most recent delay is “due to the team’s continued dedication to polishing the game.” Both Bandai Namco and Slightly Mad Studios released the following statement:

”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.”

Bandai Namco has said that Project Cars will be the most authentic, beautiful, intense and technically-advanced racing game on the planet. Project Cars is set to include the largest roster of any recent racing game, a huge variety of motorsports to play, a freeform and authentic career mode, dynamic time of day and weather and more.
