Daylight delayed to the end of April to make it scarier

New trailer released.

Zombie Studios has delayed the release of its PC and PlayStation 4 procedurally-generated first-person scare-fest Daylight to 29th April 2014, it's announced. It had been due out on 8th April.

"Let's not mince words," read a note from the developer. "First news you need to know about Daylight is that we had to delay the release date by several weeks. Here's the thing: the way Daylight is developed is completely different because of its procedural generation. In a lot of ways it really helped the team by streamlining the environment creation, but it's taken extra time to make sure all the scare cues are properly implemented for maximum player effect.

"Tl;dr: we're fine tuning Daylight to make it scarier."

Meanwhile, Zombie said Daylight will be discounted for PlayStation Plus subscribers when it does go on sale. Its normal price is £11.99.
