PS3 Version of Arcania: Gothic 4 Delayed Until 2011

JoWooD Entertainment sent over a press release this morning announcing that the PlayStation 3 version of Arcania: Gothic 4 will arrive at least a few months after the Xbox 360 and PC versions are released. Apparently the current build wasn’t being perceived as a “high quality product”:

PLAYSTATION 3 VERSION OF ARCANIA GOTHIC 4 TO BE RELEASED IN 2011

London, 5th August 2010; JoWooD Entertainment and the BVT Group announce that the release of the (ArcaniA Gothic 4) Playstation 3 version is set for the first half-year of 2011. The successor of the internationally successful Gothic series will be released on current-gen consoles for the first time, additional to PC systems. Xbox 360 and PC versions will hit the stores on Oct. 12th 2010.

The focus during development of ArcaniA Gothic 4 laid on a well-founded quality assurance. Playstation 3 gamers will experience the same, high quality product as Xbox 360 and PC customers. This causes the adjustment of the release date and sets the course for an outstanding gameplay experience on all platforms.
