If you were hoping to play Gravity Rush 2 this year, we have some bad news for you. While it's not exactly a monumental delay, the Sony blog updated with the announcement that the sequel will now debut on January 20, 2017.
It's not all bad news, though. Game director Keiichiro Toyama offered up an apology to players in the form of free DLC. Initially planned as a paid add-on, the premium DLC that includes an additional story will now be released free of charge.
Here's what Toyama had to say about the delay:
In July, we announced a release date for Gravity Rush 2 that we felt most appropriate for the title. Since then, though production is proceeding smoothly, the landscape for that release date has changed dramatically.
Gravity Rush 2 is the conclusion of Kat’s journey, so we want players to have enough time to dive deep into her story. In addition, as a lot of work went into online features that allow for asynchronous player interaction, we want as many people as possible playing the title at the same time. Thus, after careful deliberation, we have decided to change the release date. Gravity Rush 2 will now launch on January 20, 2017.
