Heavy Rain - Real UK & US Release Dates

As we reported this morning, Quantic Dream's PS3 exclusive Heavy Rain won't be releasing in February 16th. It will be releasing on February 26th (USA three days before) - and that's official.

The PlayStation Blog just posted the following:

"Hi everyone – Alex Pavey here, with some great news about Heavy Rain to start off the new year! The eagle-eyed amongst you will have noticed that the US release date has been confirmed today as the 23rd February – and although there are still some final tests and checks to be completed, I wanted to let you all know that you can expect to see Heavy Rain on-shelves across PAL regions during the same week – Wednesday 24th February for mainland Europe, and Friday 26th February in the UK and Ireland.

"There are a range of pre-order programs going on – these vary across each country, but will offer you a chance to get hold of either the Heavy Rain Special Edition, or specific bonus items DLC including Heavy Rain: Chronicle One – The Taxidermist. Look out for more details on country-specific pre-order plans soon."

There, actual information rather than another Qore guffaw.
