Final Fantasy XIII-2 Scheduled for January 2012 in North America

by Erren Van Duine on 18 July, 2011

I believe this was already mentioned in Game Informer‘s coverage of the game, but FINAL FANTASY XIII-2 was listed for a January 2012 release.

This information has been further backed up today by Square-Enix and their Comic Con line-up. FINAL FANTASY XIII-2 will be playable there, of course, but hidden within the press release was a small bit of news.

FINAL FANTASY XIII-2′s expected ship date for North America (and probably Europe) is currently January 2012. This means it is scheduled to release about a month after its Japanese counterpart.

This should be unsurprising, as FINAL FANTASY XIII’s localization was also done around the time of the game’s domestic release.

Our next new information coverage should come at GamesCom in August, so in the meantime, look forward to it!
