Sony
capped its August 20 Gamescom presentation with dates for the
PlayStation 4, which will launch in North America on November 15 and in
European regions on November 29.
The European date includes launches in Latin America, Australia and New Zealand, but no dates were given for
South East Asia and Japan -- even in Sony's Japanese press release.
Instead, the computer entertainment company's Japanese branch called
for a mid-afternoon press conference on September 9, ten days prior to
the opening of the Tokyo Game Show.
The console will be supported by 15 disc-based titles at launch,
including vibrant all-ages platformer "Knack," social racing game
"DriveClub," and futuristic shooter "Killzone: Shadow Fall," as well
non-exclusives by way of "Assassin's Creed IV," "Battlefield 4," "Call
of Duty: Ghosts," "Just Dance 2014," "Lego Marvel Super Heroes,"
"Skylanders: Swap Force" and more.
A further 18 digital games are to be made available between the
console's launch and the end of the year, such as "Minecraft," "Pinball
Arcade," "Pool Nation Extreme," "Planetside 2" and "DC Universe."
