The years-in-the-making Gran Turismo 5 has been delayed. The game was slated for release this March in Japan, but publisher Sony Computer Entertainment announced today that the game’s release date is now TBA.
The release date will be announced at a later date, Sony stated in an official release. The company also apologised for any trouble that this delay has caused.
GT5 was first announced at the E3 gaming expo in Los Angeles back in 2006. According to GT series creator Kazunori Yamauchi, Gran Turismo 5 has cost $US60 million to make. The game will feature over 1,000 automobiles and 20 different locations.
The game was playable in 3D at the recent CES show in Las Vegas. Sony previously announced it was shooting for “Summer 2010″ for a Western release. No word on how this delay will impact those plans.
One thing to remember though, is that it's only the Japan release that been delayed. In fact, there was never an English release in the first place, so in reality, it hasn't been delayed for us at all.
Apparantly rumours are floating around that we'll get it sometime during June or July though. That was back before this delay for Japan was announced. Perhaps Polyphony Digital is instead aiming for a worldwide release instead?
