'Gran Turismo Sport' Release Date Pushed Back To 2017 Amid Developer's Desire For Cutting-Edge Features
Polyphony Digital founder and Gran Turismo series creator Yazunori Yamauchi took to the official PlayStation blog early Tuesday to announce that he and the team working behind "Gran Turismo Sport" have decided to push the release date of the game back to next year. Announced 10 months ago at Paris Game Week, "Gran Turismo Sport" is Polyphony and Sony Interactive Entertainment's next installment after its successful "Gran Turismo 6," and Yamauchi stated in his post that many fans have high expectations for the game. Unfortunately, instead of its anticipated November release, the game's release date has been delayed until 2017. Yamauchi indicated in his post that the reason for the delay is because his team still needs more time to perfect "Gran Turismo Sport" and in order for them to ensure that the gaming experience is not compromised once the game arrives. The professional racing driver also admitted that they are after the high quality features that they would be able to deliver well through the cutting-edge technologies they are using.
