Publisher Rockstar Games today announced that Rockstar San Diego's open-world racing game Midnight Club: Los Angeles (PS3, X360) will ship September 9 in North America. Also shipping that day will be the PSP version of the game - Midnight Club: LA Remix, developed by Rockstar London.

"People are going to be blown away when they see how true-to-life Los Angeles looks in this game," said producer Jay Panek. "We've added some great twists and turns that let players experience the authentic vibe and feel of the city at blistering speeds that you simply couldn't get away with in real life."

Take-Two Interactive today clarified a number of release dates for its upcoming titles.

The publisher revealed that Gearbox Software's Borderlands (PC, PS3, X360) and 2K Czech's Mafia II (PC, PS3, X360) are positioned for release sometime in Take-Two's 2009 fiscal year, which runs from November 1, 2008 through October 31, 2009.

The new date marks a delay for the co-op friendly Borderlands, which was originally slated to arrive within Take Two's 2008 fiscal year. Prior to today, no release date had been announced for Mafia II.

Additionally, Rockstar San Diego's Midnight Club: Los Angeles (PS3, X360) was confirmed for release in the company's FY2008 fourth quarter, pinning the title's release window between August 1 and October 31, 2008.

The game was originally aimed for a spring 2008 release, but was delayed to prevent competition with Rockstar North's Grand Theft Auto IV (PS3, X360).

Computer & Video Games has a Midnight Club: LA preview posted, checking out the racing game sequel from Rockstar San Diego.
