Original story :
Yesterday in France, a few websites were reporting that Dying Light was going to be delayed again.
Playeronetv was the first one. They said the retailer Micromania (big vg retailer) would not take preorders anymore. I checked that on their website but it's not the case. Maybe only in stores, idk.
Then Gamergen followed without giving any source. But on their forums, someone allegedly reported this.
Today i think, Amazon.fr changed the release date to march 31 and Fnac.com to February 27.
A few hours ago, this was posted in the forums.
A friend of mine tweeted this to the game account 22 hours ago, and is still waiting for an answer.
So what do you think gaf?
Delay me again if old.
update : Jeuxvideo.com (biggest french vg website) is reporting the possibility of the game "trying to avoid controversy".
They're basically reporting the first rumor, adding that it could be a mission where you had to kill a group of muslim women zombies. It's unclear in their article if they're making a wild guess or if that's what they heard.
The digital version would allegedly suffer no delay because it would be easy to remove the controversial content until the last minute while the physical version needs to be fabricated again.
I wish techland were more forward with this and told us either yes or no, it's the reason of the delay. We'll know eventually when the US version will be compared with the version from the rest of the world.

I work in retail, and the manager knows from a reliable source that the game is pushed due to certain scenes reminding the january attacks and they have to remove or change them.
