DriveClub, an upcoming PlayStation 4-exclusive racing game developed by Evolution Studios, has gone "back to the drawing board" according to PlayStation software product development head Scott Rohde.
DriveClub was originally scheduled to release as a launch title for the PlayStation 4 last year, but was delayed in October with no new release date unveiled.
Speaking to IGN, Rohde has reiterated Sony's desire not to release the game before it's ready.
"What I will say is that it all comes back to that fundamental principle, and that’s that we want to build great games," says Rohde.
"And we really don't want to release a game before it's ready. And sometimes, this happens in the normal course of business, where we think we're on track to deliver what we think is going to be a great game, and when we get closer, we realise that we'd be doing everyone a disservice if we shipped it before it was ready."
Rohde went on to say that Sony is "kinda willing to eat that [cost] and go back to the drawing board and make sure the game is great before we ship it".
Rhode wouldn't be drawn on the new release date for the game, with Sony PR simply stating that there will be more details "soon."
When it does release, a PlayStation Plus version of DriveClub with fewer cars and tracks will be added to Sony's Instant Game Collection, with the option of paying to upgrade to the full version.
