In what’s probably one of the best press releases for a game delay, THQ Nordic have announced their decision to push back the console launch of Wreckfest from 20th November to some time in 2019. The reason? I’ll lead it to Senior Producer Toger Joswig to explain:
Wreckfest for consoles will only be released as soon as we love playing it. After the fantastic release on PC, the benchmark for the console release is much higher. At this moment, the team needs more time to polish the multiplayer part, as well as the overall performance on the game to bring it up to par with the experience on PC. We are sorry for keeping fans waiting longer because of this. However, we already have compensation in the form of further vehicles, including a special crazy vehicle, in the works for consoles.
And there’s a handy TL;DR in case that was too wordy for you:
Subject: Release delay for Wreckfest on consoles
Reason: Quality assurance
New date: As soon as we love playing it
In the meantime, here’s the launch trailer for the PC version of the game where THQ presumably already love playing it.
