After DriveClub was pushed back from the original November 15th release date in North America for PS4, Sony has only mentioned how the game is now slated for early 2014 and it “will be worth the wait.”

Although this doesn’t give us an exact release date for North America or Europe, the PlayStation Japan website (via Dualshockers) has given DriveClub a release date of February 22nd, 2014 (the PS4’s launch day in Japan), and included it on the PS4’s launch title page. If this proves true, it could mean that a western release would happen on or around the very same time. And with inFamous: Second Son out on March 21st, a February release for DriveClub worldwide would give the PS3 back-to-back months of big titles.

On the DriveClub Facebook page back on November 18th, the team did give a slight update as to the status of the game:

We want you to know that #DriveClub is still improving day by day. We’re still optimizing the skies, frame rate, reflections, lighting (in car and out), audio and much more – and that we will keep you up to speed with development as much as we can. Thanks again everyone!

We’ll let you know once we hear more about DriveClub’s release date in North America and Europe.
