Following on the heels of other various other regions, the arcade racer Motorstorm Apocalypse will be delayed to a later date in the US.

Just announced on the PS Blog, Motorstorm Apocalypse has been officially delayed from its intended April 12th release date, due to the unfortunate similarities between the earthquake and tsunami levels in the game, and the recent tragic events in Japan. While the game has been indefinitely delayed, it will eventually see a release in the US, UK and Japan, once the timing is deemed more suitable.
