Heavy Rain Release Date Confirmed

January 8, 2010 10:40 AM

One of the final mysteries regarding Quantic Dreams' Heavy Rain have been resolved, with publisher Sony today announcing release dates for North America and Europe. The PlayStation 3 adventure game hits North America on February 23, as revealed on the PlayStation.Blog, with Europe's PlayStation.Blog specifying a mainland European release for February 24, followed in the UK and Ireland on February 26.

In addition to what's on the disc, developer Quantic is also planning a series of $4.99 downloadable 'Chronicles' episodes that further flesh out its main characters, with those that pre-order Heavy Rain from select shops getting the first one for free.

Wow, that's a lot earlier than I expected for some reason. I doubt I'll be done with my current backlog of holiday games by then, and then a week or two later Bad Company comes out, followed shortly by God of War 3. This one will probably have to be put on hold.

  Same here. I was thinking it'd be a summer release.
