Ratchet & Clank: QForce delayed again for Vita

Ratchet & Clank: QForce has received another delay for the PlayStation Vita.

The platformer was originally scheduled for a November 2012 launch, before being pushed back to January 2013.

QForce also missed that release date and now Sony is saying it won't arrive until the spring.

"Our friends at Tin Giant have been working night and day to bring Insomniac's PS3 game to the PS Vita system and to provide our fans with a great game," said SCEA producer Greg Phillips on the PS Blog.

"While the original delay has helped us make the game better, we still need more time to bring the game up to the standards expected by our fans."

Players that purchased the PS3 version of QForce with the intention of using the Vita Cross-Buy offer will be compensated with a free download of Ratchet & Clank: Deadlocked for the PS3.

Sony's Masaru Kato recently said that new games and marketing are the key to making sure the PS Vita is a success.
