Heavy Rain Release Date Confirmed

10
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.
