Rockstar Games have this evening released the lovely artwork you’ll be seeing adorning boxes of LA Noire on its release in a couple of months – assuming no more delays, of course.
The game sees you in the shoes of Detective Cole Phelps as he investigates the seedy underworld of 1947 Los Angeles, moving through vice, traffic, and homicide, as illustrated by the decidedly dead-looking chap in the top-right corner of the box.

LA Noire releases May 20th on PS3 and 360 in Europe, and the 17th in the US.

The US cover is much better IMO: http://www.amazon.com/Noire-Playstation-3/dp/B002I0J5UQ

Edit: Okay, so I suppose they changed it. In that case I think the previous shot was much better IMO. BTW, the actress on the cover is actress Kimberlee Peterson, who I remember from the very nice TV movie Homecoming.

@metamorph: I think that’s just a placeholder image, the art doesn’t line up with the top of the box, there are black bars.

I personally prefer the 2nd one as it feels more like LA Noire

Not very stylish… Don’t really like it much to be honest.

Sorry everyone, I guess Josh got his “months beginning with M” mixed up.
May 17th in North America, 20th in Europe.
I’ve edited the original article to reflect this.
