MotorStorm Apocalypse Release Date Confirmed

by on January 13, 2011
 

Sony and Evolutions Studios have today confirmed the release date for the PlayStation 3 exclusive, MotorStorm Apocalypse. The third entry in off-road racing series will be hitting European shores on March 16th, whereas North American PS3 owners will have to wait until April 12th.

No, you’re not going blind and you did read that correctly. MotorStorm Apocalypse will be coming to Europe first and then North America almost a month later. Makes a nice change from the norm, wouldn’t you agree fellow European gamers?

In addition to the release date confirmation, the cover art for the game in both regions was also unveiled. Matt Southern (Game Director at Evolution Studios) stated that the European cover art was “quite unusual for a racing game”, but also added that it “slightly harks back to the box for MotorStorm 1”. In contrast, he stated that the North American cover art is “more of a ‘classic’ box and is based on an image we created in early 2010 that I absolutely love, which means I can’t decide which l like best”.
