Gran Turismo 5 delayed in Japan, SCEE says PAL release unaffected

Gran Turismo 5 has apparently hit a speed bump on the way to the finish line. Sony recently announced that the game's Japanese release date has been delayed.

 

According to a Reuters report, the delay stems from unspecified problems encountered during production. A new release date will reportedly be made public by Sony in the future. The long-awaited entry from Polyphony Digital was given a March 2010 release during last year's Tokyo Game Show.

 

While it's unknown how the Japanese delay will affect the game's North American and European releases, SCEE has confirmed that PAL gamers will be unaffected.

 

"This information on the GT release is only applicable for the Japanese market," the company told European gaming news site Eurogamer. "SCEE will announce the launch date for this game in the PAL territories in due course."

 

Thanks to Fred and bpa94 for the tips!

Damn. Let's just hope this doesn't end up as a PS4 launch title.

So it will come out a year after Forza 3 did? Seriously, I've been waiting so long for this game and if it does worse or equal to Forza i'll be disappointed with the series. (Not that any of you care anyway lol)

Not at all surprising when you consider the release schedules of the past games. All GT games are delayed and delayed and delayed again with the worst offender thus far being GT PSP.

However, these are fantastic games and I've played the hell out of every one of them.
