Console version delayed into 2020
We've been rather excited for Two Point Hospital here at Push Square Towers.

News GRID Takes a Pit Stop on PS4, Delayed to October
Stalling
Since the game's announcement earlier in the year, we've not heard much at all about GRID, Codemasters' next racing title.

News Team Sonic Racing Delayed, Going Back to the Pits for Several Months
Stuck in traffic
We weren't exactly enamoured with Team Sonic Racing when we played it at this year's EGX. It lacks the nostalgic sparkle of Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing Transformed, and its team-based mechanics seem undercooked. It wasn't going to live up to the same standard as its predecessor, in other words. SEGA seems to feel the same way,...
News Days Gone Delayed to Avoid Horde of New Releases on PS4
Even more days gone
February 2019 is absolutely rammed with games.

Not so sharp
Bandai Namco has repeatedly stated that SoulCalibur VI will launch this year, but it's now June and we still don't have a confirmed release date.

Changed my mind
Shenmue III was never coming out this year, but now publisher Deep Silver has confirmed.

Block party
