11th October 2010
Brighton, UK – Due to some weeks of speculation Lace Mamba Global today confirm that the release date of Jane Jensen's Gray Matter has been delayed and will now arrive on retail shelves on 25th February 2011. The delay relates to both Xbox 360 and PC versions of the game.

Jason Codd of Lace Mamba Global explains in more detail the decision "I understand that this is very frustrating for consumers who have pre-ordered the game and we are very disappointed also as we have been building up to the release, started our marketing and PR but due to the tight time frames, and the need for more polishing of the game we had no alternative but to make a quick decision and delay the product until February. This will give the development team more time in ensuring that the game measures up to the standards that have been set, and we now know for certain that the date we have is the date Gray Matter will be available."
