Sony has been talking up the prospects of Driveclub today, saying the development of the game is going "from strength to strength" and that the progress being made is "spectacular".
In a statement sent to VideoGamer, a Sony rep said that the company "would like to make it very clear that the development of DRIVECLUB on PS4 is going from strength to strength. The announced studio changes across WWS yesterday have not affected the development of DRIVECLUB or the DRIVECLUB team, which has always had great direction and continues to do so.
"We have full confidence that the game will deliver on its PS4 promise to be the first truly socially connected racing title and we are very pleased and excited by the calibre of work from Evolution Studios.
"The progress being made on the game is spectacular, so we're looking forward to sharing an update on development, release date and videos of the game in action in the weeks to come. We thank you for your patience and assure you, it will be worth the wait."
It was also confirmed in the same statement that a new game director would be announced for the project "very soon," after Col Rodgers left his position at the studio in a move that Sony stated wasn't part of the recent job cuts made by the platform holder.
