Motorstorm Apocalypse Delayed in US As Well

Motorstorm Apocalypse, the new apocalyptic racer from Sony has been delayed in all markets now. Considering the main theme of the game is racing through an earthquake ravaged world it comes as no surprise. It was set for release just before the earthquake and tsunami devastated Japan and was quickly delayed there. That delay then spread the the EMEA territories and now we have word that it will also be delayed in the US where it was set for an April 12th release.

Considering the damage that is still ongoing from the earthquake and tsunami and the nuclear situation that is still unfolding there we might expect to not see the game until the end of the year, if even that early.

The game is already here in the GDN office for review as it arrived the week of the earthquake and it features earthquakes happening in a large city before during and after to the point where the final race in the first series is one of escaping from the collapsing city. It is totally understandable that they have delayed its launch.
