NEWS: The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Delayed Until 2015

CD Projekt RED's much anticipated game; The Witcher 3, has been delayed.


An open letter sent by developer CD Projekt RED has detailed the decision to postpone the game's release, which will now be sometime in February 2015 - no specific date was mentioned.

It seems the primary reason is that the developer wants to create a product that meets high quality standards, which might not be achieved if it is released sooner rather than later:

"We recent reexamined what we had achieved thus far, and faced a choice about the game's final release date. The decision we made was difficult, thoroughly considered, and ultimately clear and obvious. We could have released the game towards the end of this year as we had initially planned. Yet we concluded that a few additional months will let us achieve the quality that will satisfy us, the quality gamers expect from us. Consequently, we have set the release of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt for February 2015.

A separate note specifically for gamers to read contains an apology for the delay:

"Dear gamers - we know many of you would have liked to play The Witcher 3 sooner, as soon as possible, even. We're sorry to make you wait longer than you, or we, initially assumed you would. At the same time, we believe the game will prove to be worth the wait and meet the expectations you have of us. We believe The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt will be an exceptional RPG, one of the best, providing many hours of wonderful entertainment."

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt will be available on Xbox One, PS4, and Windows.

NEWS: Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remaster Delayed In Europe

New trailer has revealed the game will not release in Europe until March 2014.


In a trailer released titled 'Saving Spira', a release date of 21 March 2014 has been revealed, causing the original date of late 2013 to be canned. 

However, there is no mention of the PSVita release - at this point it's best to assume both versions of the games are to be delayed to not cause disappointment.

Japan can still expect a release of 26 December of this month, whilst the US date is set to 18 March 2014. Previously unavailable in North America, players can finally get their hands on the international version of Final Fantasy X, which includes the expert sphere grid, additional abilities, bosses, and so forth. Only available in Japanese until now, Final Fantasy X-2 + Last Mission will be available in all releases.

Watch the new trailer below - does this delay come as a disappointment to you or are you willing to wait either way? Comment below.

NEWS: PlayStation 4 - Japanese Release Date Pushed Back


Japan - the origin of all things Sony and PlayStation, will in fact probably be the last country to see the release of the PlayStation 4.

Instead of it's original plan to be released in November, Sony Asia announced at the Tokyo Game Show that the console will instead be releasing February 22nd of 2014.

Why is this? I honestly don't know. It could be that Sony as a whole want to focus their efforts on the North American and European release in terms of maximizing profits, and then dedicate themselves purely on the Japanese release, but like I say - I really don't know why this is.

I'm sure a lot of Japanese gamers are angry about this news, but time will tell why Sony decided to make such a strange decision, especially this close to the original launch date.
