One hell of a delay. Release date couldn't be any better though, Summer is always slow for games.

Somehow I feel relief with the Witcher, the Order and Bloodborne already coming in February.


Bloodborne is only confirmed for Feb in Japan thus far.

But dev Saïd they want a worldwide release so it wont be too far from western release, when your see how fast they localized soûl sacrifice, a vita game with a lot to translate, i bet well get bloodborne the same month


True, I don't think the world wide release will be far apart but with being a first party Sony game, the smart thing to do is to give the Order a few weeks of breathing room on shelves first. The Witcher will also eat up retail sales that month too. I'll put at it mid to late March for Bloodborne imo.

Seriously I was almost certain that people treated this like a February game, did I imagine all this?

Anyway always good to see big games release in the dry summer.


this was delayed until "early 2015" at first, and was rumored to be a feb game.

however this being a summer title is good IMO. Q1 is packed, this will help console sales in the summer pick up, its a very hyped game and next gen exclusive, so it will help push consoles in that slow time of the year.

Yeah and it's another one with PS exclusive content(right?) and marketing(probably) so we know what most of those sold consoles will be, well not like it would have been different if that wasn't the case. :P

Nice timing imo. Just annoys me that publishers/devs announce release dates that are WAYYYYY too optimistic. I mean, wasn't this an October game?
