Gran Turismo 5 due November 24

Polyphony Digital has revealed the latest planned release date for Gran Turismo 5, a PlayStation 3 driving simulator which has been in development for six years.

The game, which features 1031 cars and 71 circuits, is now due to arrive at retail on November 24.

Commented Polyphony Digital boss Kazunori Yamauchi, "With the technological leap onto PlayStation 3, our objective with GT5 was to create another great revolution which would not only satisfy our own high expectations, but would meet or even exceed the anticipation of the fans."

"Satisfying the loyal Gran Turismo followers is at the heart of all of our efforts, which is why it was such a difficult decision to delay the release of the game, and one which we did not take lightly.

"I can only apologise to everyone for making you wait so long, and I hope that when you try out the wealth of driving experiences available in Gran Turismo 5, you will not be disappointed."

Gran Turismo 5 was last due for release on November 2, with the latest slip being announced on October 13.
