MotorStorm: Apocalypse dates confirmed for Europe and North America

motorstormappoc

MotorStorm: Apocalypse will release in Europe on March 16 and the US on April 12.

Yes, that is a month apart in case you are challenged when it come to counting on your fingers.

Evolution Studios has also released shots of the box art for both regions. Both can be found on either the US or EU PS Blog.

With the European box art, the developer aims to “show what is new in the game” and pay homage to the box for MotorStorm 1.

The US box art is more “classic”, according to the firm, and is “based on an image created in early 2010″.

Evolution also posted a reminder to those in the US to pre-order the game before it hits in order to “get one of the cool pre-order packs available”.

That’s a bit of a difference between release dates.

Damn it sure is. Be tempted to import. Actually prefer the EU box art better anyway. Can’t WAIT for this monster title.

@all I have mailed both SCEA and SCEE to find out the reason. Hopefully, someone will get back with us soon.

It’s because SCEA’s focus is on MLB 11: The Show in March and SCEE has nothing. They’re trying to launch one banner exclusive every month.

Also, welcome to the life of Europeans. A months wait is nothing.

Always import right? No language difference with US and EU versions?

You could import yes. The only problem you might have is future DLC won’t work unless you buy it with a European PSN account.
