Square Enix have announced that the long awaited Final Fantasy XIII will launch for Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 in Europe and North America on March 9 next year. The game will see release on Playstation 3 in Japan in December and the relatively close Western release date is good news for fans of the series.
Here is a quote from the press release sporting a happy boss:
"Final Fantasy XIII promises to be a huge event in the 2010 gaming calendar," said Phil Rogers, president and chief executive officer of Square Enix Europe. "This is truly a landmark title, arriving simultaneously for multiple platforms for the first time in the history of the series. We are also immensely proud to be able to bring the game to the European and PAL audience much earlier than was publically anticipated."
