God of War III dated for March 16 in US [Update]
Update: Here. We. Go.
SCEE’s just told VG247 an EU date will be announced on the EU PS Blog at 6pm GMT.
Update 2: No confirmed EU date yet.
SCEE just said it is aiming to release in the PAL regions in the same week as the US.
Original Story: God of War III has been confirmed for a March 16 release in the US.
The news was confirmed on the US PS Blog.
It pretty much coincides with the date given by GameStop a while back.
The box-art for both the standard edition and Ultimate Edition [Note: not the same as the Ultimate Trilogy Edition EU is getting - JC] was also confirmed.
As an added bonus, that much asked for new trailer for the epic hack-and-slash will finally air on February 11.
Earlier in the week, SCEE told us they were aiming for a March 19 release for the UK, although nothing is confirmed yet.
On the back of this, expect something very, very soon.

I think I will also have to secretly slip the fella of the house a Valium in his drink in order to commandeer the PS3.
Kratos is my male equivalent of Lara Croft. *sigh* I don’t do bad things to myself looking at him though like some do to Lara.

“You may have read that the God of War III U.S. release date has been confirmed today as the 16th March 2010. Whilst I can’t confirm the exact date for PAL, I wanted to let you know say that we are aiming to release God of War III across PAL regions during the same week. I will confirm this as soon as I can so watch this space, the wait will be over soon!”
Same week but no exact date… I’m still going with 17th Central Europe, 19th UK.

5 out of 10 people fainted for hearing the GOWIII release date. The remaining 5 could punch though brick like as it was a cardboard box.

@23 I don’t think they are worthless.I believe they are trying to conclude on to what special editions they will release in EU so when they do that they can finally give a release date
