Sony Computer Entertainment Europe has announced that Gran Turismo 5 will be released across the UK on November 24, 2010.
“Gran Turismo 5 is an ambitious project, with challenges and complexities which have made it our version of the Apollo Space Programme!” commented Kazunori Yamauchi, president of Polyphony Digital Inc.
He added: “When we created the original Gran Turismo back in 1997, we wanted to set a completely new precedent for the racing genre. With the technological leap onto PlayStation 3, our objective with GT5 was to create another great revolution which would not only satisfy our own high expectations, but would meet or even exceed the anticipation of the fans. Satisfying the loyal Gran Turismo followers is at the heart of all of our efforts, which is why it was such a difficult decision to delay the release of the game, and one which we did not take lightly. I can only apologise to everyone for making you wait so long, and I hope that when you try out the wealth of driving experiences available in Gran Turismo 5, you will not be disappointed.”
With a delay into late December things could have gone badly wrong for Gran Turismo, but a launch only three weeks after the originally planned date means there’s plenty of time for fans to snap up the ambitious racer in time for Christmas.
Any bad feeling towards Sony and the development team will likely be forgotten providing the game lives up to fan expectations.
