Bad news if you’ve been chomping at the bit to play 2K’s multiplayer shooter Evolve, as MCVUK reports that the game has now been pushed back to February 10, 2015.
The reason for the delay is simply because developer Take Two needs just a little more time to make the game perfect, and let’s not forget it was already looking pretty good anyway, winning lots of awards at E3, and poised to win even more at Gamescom next week.
“It was the primary belief that polish pays off,” Take Two CEO Strauss Zelnick told MCVUK. “When we give a title that is looking so promising, having won best of show at E3, a bit more time to make sure it is just as good as it can be, historically that has always been a good move to us.”
Zelnick went on to say that he also likes the idea of a February release date. “I have to tell you. If you look at our history since we took over the company seven years ago, we have largely stayed out of the Holiday period and gone into what our competitors consider ‘non-traditional’ release windows. And that has served us very well.”
