Money back

The developer has acknowledged that this news may be “disappointing” for all those who expected to enjoy the title at launch, but have also asked for understanding for the decision made. “All those who have already reserved the game through the PlaySatation Store, PlayStation.com or the stores” will receive their money back. Smith also points out that next week they will present a new trailer with more details on what we will find when the product is finished.

Destruction AllStars is a multiplayer focused video game that “is best when you compete with players” from all over the world. “We want the maximum number of players to experience the battle on PS5, and what better way to do that than by providing the game to PlayStation Plus members?

PS5 will go on sale on November 19 in Spain and the rest of Europe, while North American, Mexican and Japanese players will be able to access it a few days before, on November 12. Titles like Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales, Demon’s Souls or Sackboy: An adventure in a big way will be available from day one.
