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. Dead or Alive 6, ANTHEM, Metro: Exodus, and DiRT Rally 2.0 are all very close together, and until recently, Sony Bend's open world survival action game Days Gone was among them. While it would've probably held up against the competition, the publisher has decided to delay Deacon's...

News One Piece: World Seeker Delayed as Open World Title Sails into 2019
Weigh anchor
One Piece: World Seeker has been delayed into 2019. The very promising open world title was due to launch at some point this year, but without a confirmed date, it was looking more and more unlikely.

Rumour SoulCalibur VI Release Date Pushed to Early 2019
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.

But it'll be at E3
THQ Nordic has stated in a financial report that Metro: Exodus, which was planned for a Q4 2018 release, will now be pushed back into Q1 2019.

Block party

Soapbox Video Game Delays Are Important
Gabriella urges patience
When your most anticipated game is delayed, it can be a painful pill to swallow. Admittedly, I’ve had my fair share of these instances in the past.

News PS4 Exclusive Gravity Rush 2 Tumbles into 2017
Another one bites the dust
Well, this is becoming an unfortunate reoccurrence, isn't it? There's not one game that Sony hasn't delayed this year, and Gravity Rush 2 is the latest to join the "pushed back" party. To be fair to the Japan Studio developed title, this very much appears to be a marketing move rather than a production problem – but that...

Remember when Square Enix put on a massive press conference to announce the release date for Final Fantasy XV?
