Another big delay to alert you to tonight. This one is for Gravity Rush 2 and its delay until January 20, 2017. That's right, yet another PlayStation 4 game has been pushed out of the big Holiday sale season. To make up for this delay, the team plans to release the premium DLC that was planned for the game for free of charge.
The news comes to us from Game Director, Keiichiro Toyama.
You know what? It's probably for the best since it would have been going up against Final Fantasy XV and The Last Guardian. The delay and the compensation of free DLC is a great move.
The news comes to us from Game Director, Keiichiro Toyama.
In July, we announced a release date for Gravity Rush 2 that we felt most appropriate for the title. Since then, though production is proceeding smoothly, the landscape for that release date has changed dramatically.
Gravity Rush 2 is the conclusion of Kat’s journey, so we want players to have enough time to dive deep into her story. In addition, as a lot of work went into online features that allow for asynchronous player interaction, we want as many people as possible playing the title at the same time. Thus, after careful deliberation, we have decided to change the release date. Gravity Rush 2 will now launch on January 20, 2017.
I would like to apologize to all those players anxiously awaiting Gravity Rush 2. After four years of development making a title we are very proud of, we want to release it at the very best time.
In exchange for the longer wait, we have decided to release the premium DLC planned for the title free of charge. This additional story will take place in the world of Gravity Rush 2 and we think fans will have a lot of fun playing through it.
As we move into the holiday season and the New Year, we have many more exciting things in store, including more information about the title and the special animated feature. Please keep an eye out for more on Gravity Rush 2, and thank you again for all your support.
