In an email sent to customers, GAME, a leading retailer of video games, has confirmed Gran Turismo 5 won’t be released this year, with European PlayStation 3 gamers having to wait until 2009.
“The legendary “Real Driving Simulator” Gran Turismo 5 is heading to PlayStation 3 in 2009, utilising the uber-console’s raw horsepower to generate an unrivalled level of realism,” states the GAME email.
The email does, however, promote the March 28 release of Gran Turismo 5 Prologue, which will be priced only £19.99. This early teaser will feature five tracks and 40 cars, plus 16-player online racing.
Gran Turismo 5 currently has a tentative 2008 release date in both Japan and North America.
