Ratchet & Clank: QForce delayed for Vita

Sony has confirmed that Ratchet & Clank: QForce for the PlayStation Vita has been delayed.

Vita owners will now have to wait until January 2013 to get their hands on it, while a PlayStation 3 version is still set for 27 November.

Sony Computer Entertainment America producer, Greg Phillips, claimed the delay was to ensure that players would be happy with the final product.

"In order to provide the best gameplay experience possible, the PS Vita version of Ratchet & Clank: QForce will be coming out in January 2013," he said in a statement.

Sony will now release the first DLC skin pack for free upon the game's launch.

The game is available in Sony's new Cross-Buy promotion, which means that those who buy the PS3 version of a game receive the Vita version for free.
