Sony recently showed off brand new gameplay footage of The Order: 1886, one of its most important titles for the PS4 in 2014. Well, it was supposed to be a 2014 release, anyway.
According to a source from Gamereactor, as well as insider shinobi602, The Order: 1886 has been delayed from Fall 2014 to February 2015.
Below are the Tweets:

If true, the PS4’s 2014 lineup would take a huge hit. Currently, the exclusive AAA games to look forward to for the second half of 2014 are The Last of Us: Remastered, DriveClub, and The Order: 1886. The pickings are already slim, and losing any one of the three would hurt.
E3 is just two weeks away and there’s a possibility that Sony will announce a new game for late 2014 to help fill up the year. It’s also possible that a new The Order: 1886 trailer could be shown along with a concrete release date. Only a release window has been shared to this point.
As much as it hurts, in the end gamers benefit from delays. More development time means a better game, after all. Even if The Order: 1886 is delayed, there are plenty of other titles to enjoy later this year, including Destiny, Dragon Age: Inquisition, and The Witness.
