The new motorsport simulation offering from Slightly Mad Studios, Project CARS has yet again been faced with a delay in its release. The game will now be launched for its intended platforms on April 2 instead of March 20. It was originally slated to be outed back in November last year, but its release was moved into March by its makers. On April 2, it will be seen hitting PC, the PS4 as well as the Xbox One, while its launch for SteamOS and the Wii U will take place sometime later this year.
Project CARS was even slated to be made available for Sony’s PlayStation 3 and Microsoft’s Xbox 360 consoles, but these versions were later cancelled. Slightly Mad Studios has revealed through a statement that the choice to delay the game was ‘not an easy decision to make,’ but it was made nonetheless as the extra days would allow the developers to provide a better experience to fans. The creators have moreover gone on to assure gamers that the ‘wait will be worth it.’

The CARS in this game’s name stands for Community Assisted Racing Simulator. This offering is being created to provide gamers with realistic driving simulation, and it aims to differentiate itself from titles like Gran Turismo and Forza Motorsport by featuring a ‘sandbox’ approach to gameplay. Under this move, players are given a chance to select between a variety of different motorsports paths, and are even granted immediate access to all included tracks and vehicles.
Like we said, Project CARS is all set to be released for the PS4, the Xbox One and PC on April 2. Its SteamOS and Wii U versions however, will be outed sometime later this year.
