Pete Smith, the Director of Product Development for the game, announced on the PlayStation blog that they have postponed its release to the month of February next year.

Destruction AllStars is somewhat similar to the popular multiplayer Rocket League. The difference is that this arena multiplayer does not include a soccer ball. Think Street Fighter, but with cars. In Destruction AllStars, players test out the strength of their cars by fighting it out in the massive arena. It features pretty sick graphics, comparable to that of the Need for Speed titles.

Sony, however, has not stated why they have postponed the release. Pete Smith says,

“This may be disappointing news for some of you who were looking to play the game at launch, but we hope you understand the decision. For those of you that have already pre-ordered the game, be it via PlayStation Store, PlayStation.com, or at retail, your purchase will be refunded.”

Moreover, this title will be available as a part of the PlayStation Plus subscription for two months for no additional cost. The PS5 will hit the stores on the 12th of November.
