It’s only been a few weeks since E3, and the Internet has been set ablaze with anticipation for PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale! We announced new fighters Nathan Drake and Big Daddy, and that PlayStation All-Stars will have a PlayStation Vita release when it launches later this year – so you’ll be able to take the battle with you on the go, or experience cross-platform matches against your friends whether you’re playing on PS3 or PS Vita.
We’ve been thrilled to hear all of the great responses to the news about the game so far, and have been reading all of your questions and comments on the blogs and forums. While we’ll get to answering all of them soon enough, today we’re going to be answering a couple of the more popular ones: “Why pre-order?” and “When is the game coming out?”
Aside from making sure you’ve got a copy on day one, pre-ordering will snag you an exclusive set of costumes for all of the characters in the game! Here are the outfits for the roster so far, but be sure to check back in with us later when we unveil them all.
We’ve revealed eight characters already, but you’ll have to wait until our announcement later today to see who else will be in the ring. We will be unveiling two new characters during our Exhibition Presentation at EVO in Las Vegas this evening at 6:00pm PST. So if you’re in town for the tournament, stop by and check us out or tune in to the PS.Blog for more information.
When the game launches, you’ll have plenty of opportunities to unlock multiple costumes for each character, but these exclusive costumes will only be available if you pre-order. And yes, they’ll be available right when you start playing the game!
I’ll leave you with one last update: PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale will be launching on October 23rd, 2012! We’ll have plenty more details on the game — including pricing for both the PS3 and PS Vita versions — soon enough, but we wanted to give you a date to mark on your calendars. Be sure to head over to a participating retailer to reserve your copy today!
If you guys Put Lightning Farron from Square Enix and Jin Kazama from Namco i’m sold.. :|
Just a suggestion, i think you should put Dante from devil may cry in the game.
are people really that uneducated that they think the article says there will only be 10 character? It doesn’t say that anywhere! It just said there will be two more characters named today.
wow…just wow to the people that really thought there will only be 10 characters….morons.
will there be any differences between the 2 versions of the game? certain things exclusive or excluded from either version?
I will definitely pre-order this, but please please please put Nariko (and possibly Kai) in this game :)
Hey, Cristian. Why don’t you release the game via PSN Store. I live in Chile, so I won´t pre order the game on those shops when games arrives in my country at the same time. But I would be very dissapointing for not having access to the exclusive costumes. Is there a chance of getting digitally? Or can you add those gifts to Latin America versions too? Please???
You’ll hear our plans on all that soon!
