The
Codemasters Blog announces a new October 11th release date for
GRID.
This is a slight delay for the fourth installment in this racing series, which
was annouced as coming this September. They
don't explain the setback, but do reassure purchasers of the Ultimate Edition
that the game will race out to them three days early:
Hey team. As first
announced earlier today, the release date GRID has now moved to 11th October for
Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC. Buyers of the Ultimate Edition will still
receive three days’ early access, being able to play GRID from 8th October. GRID
also remains a launch title for the upcoming Google Stadia platform later this
year.
With GRID receiving multiple nominations and awards at this year’s E3 event in
Los Angeles, including being named ‘Best Racing Game’ by
GameInformer and
DualShockers, the change has been made to give added exposure to a game
we’re hugely excited about. Thank you to our community for sharing in
that excitement since we revealed GRID in May, as we add a brand new chapter to
this storied racing franchise.
With a little more than three months until launch, our GRID and Codemasters
channels will be revealing more information and gameplay and big announcements,
with more major news coming In the next couple of days.
