First-person horror Daylight has been delayed until April 29 on PlayStation 4 and PC “to make it scarier”, Zombie Studios has confirmed.
The game had previously been due to launch next Tuesday, April 8.
“Let’s not mince words,” said the developer. “First news you need to know about Daylight is that we had to delay the release date by several weeks.
“Here’s the thing: the way Daylight is developed is completely different because of its procedural generation. In a lot of ways it really helped the team by streamlining the environment creation, but it’s taken extra time to make sure all the scare cues are properly implemented for maximum player effect.
“Tl;dr: we’re fine tuning Daylight to make it scarier.”
A planned price promotion for the PS4 release also suggests that the game will not be featured as next month’s PlayStation Plus title.
Instead, it’ll be available for $9.99 to PlayStation Plus subscribers and $11.99 to non-subscribers for two weeks following the game’s launch. It’ll then rise to the normal price of $14.99.
Meanwhile, PC players can pre-order the game for £7.99, offering a £4 discount on the usual £11.99 price. UK PS4 pricing has yet to be confirmed.
