MotorStorm Apocalypse Date And Boxart Revealed

I hope you’ve been saving up that pocket money, because Sony seem to want it all over the next few months. MotorStorm Apocalypse has just been confirmed for a launch on the 16th March in Europe – so probably the 18th in the UK – and follows January’s LittleBigPlanet 2 and February’s Killzone 3 in Sony’s pitch for your wallet and soul.

As well as confirming the release date, Evolution Studios’ Matt Southern has popped onto the PlayStation Blog to reveal the European and American boxart for the game (that we first saw back at the tail end of last year). “Our priority here [on the EU cover] is to show what is new in the game, and it slightly harks back to the box for MotorStorm 1. It is quite unusual for a racing game and we spent a long time working out what we thought would be right.”

As with the previous entries in the series, the US will be getting different boxart: “It is much more of a ‘classic’ box and is based on an image we created in early 2010 that I absolutely love, which means I can’t decide which l like best.” Hopefully we’ll see both pieces of art put up online so fans can download and print off the one they prefer.

So which version do you prefer the look of? And will MotorStorm be competing for your cash this spring?
