Releasing a game to it’s intended audience must be a simple thing …. Right?

Well Xbox Players suppose this is a debatable one as this depends sometimes on the sport involved and weather the sport may have a worldwide appeal.

For example FIFA from EA Sports, they tailor pack-shots for the country they are releasing in. In the UK last year we saw Gareth Bale take to the front cover with Lionel Messi. Now this was later changed but only the shirt that Bale wore as he signed for Real Madrid. The US cover showed the Manchester United Mexican star Chicharito with Messi instead.

But In the case of NASCAR these games generally do not make it onto foreign soil. Well belatedly it seems.

Eutechnyx has been the creator for NASCAR since NASCAR 2011: The Game, along with Activision. This was released onto PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and the Wii however it did not see the light of European versions until way later on and this was for digital only.

The following games that were released followed the same path as before.

Xbox Players acknowledge the facts that this is primarily a North American release, however NASCAR is very popular worldwide.

Since the takeover of NASCAR by Deep Silver racing fans were eager to see the game released simultaneously world wide. But their hopes were dashed, and the game saw a North American release as usual.

Now it seems that NASCAR 14 will follow the others with a delayed release in Europe but Not on Xbox! Not yet anyway.

Xbox Players have reached out to our friends over at Deep Silver to find out if this will happen or not and will report back as soon as we hear from them.

Here is the Official Press Release from Deep Silver:

As the NASCAR season gains full speed, the race action is also hitting the gas in gamers’ homes with the release of NASCAR 14, the official game to the 2014 NASCAR Sprint Cup Championship.

The game is now available in Europe for the PlayStation 3 and for Windows PC.
