The cake was a lie! Or at least it is a lie this month, as Titan Studios’ downloadable PS3 game Fat Princess has been delayed until later in the summer.

Writing on the European PlayStation Blog, PS Store team member Mike Kebby forwarded the bad news, though he did note that cake will be had by people all over the world once the game is released.

"The game is coming at some point this summer, but there is no confirmed release date at the moment," he wrote.

Have cake and carry fat princesses soon. The game is also in development for PSP.
