Sony will release their latest video game console, PlayStation 4, on Nov. 15. Many excited gamers have already pre-ordered the system, which was originally supposed to come bundled with Watch Dog andDriveClub. When these games’ release date was delayed, Target canceled all pre-orders on the PS4. Now, however, Target has changed its mind.
DriveClub is the second PS4 game to be delayed in less than a week, after it was announced that Watch Dogs would no longer be part of the launch lineup.
“The release date for the video games Watch Dogs, DriveClub, The Order: 1886, and inFamous: Second Son has been delayed. As a result, Target cancelled pre-orders for Sony Playstation 4 consoles that were going to be bundled with these titles,” Target said.
The announcement was especially confusing because neither the release of Infamous: Second Son nor The Order: 1886 has been delayed. In fact, according to Kotaku, Infamous: Second Son is not to be released until 2014 and The Order: 1886 never received an official release date. Still, it appeared that Target planned to include these games with the PS4.
“With the news that Ubisoft has delayed the release of the highly-anticipated title Watch Dogs until next year, GameStop is contacting customers who had reserved PlayStation 4 and Xbox One bundles featuring the game,” GameStop said in a statement to Polygon. “Customers can elect to keep their current bundle orders and their consoles will ship as scheduled with the game shipping separately once it is available, or customers can choose another bundle to replace their current order. Customers should also note that there may be a difference in the price if selecting another bundle and that all reserved orders will be charged upon shipment.”
The PS4 will be available in stores in North America for $399.99 on Nov. 15.
