God of War III dated for March 16 in US [Update]

Update: Here. We. Go.

SCEE's just told VG247 an EU date will be announced on the EU PS Blog at 6pm GMT.

Update 2: No confirmed EU date yet.

SCEE just said it is aiming to release in the PAL regions in the same week as the US.

Original Story: God of War III has been confirmed for a March 16 release in the US.

The news was confirmed on the US PS Blog.

It pretty much coincides with the date given by GameStop a while back.

The box-art for both the standard edition and Ultimate Edition [Note: not the same as the Ultimate Trilogy Edition EU is getting - JC] was also confirmed.

As an added bonus, that much asked for new trailer for the epic hack-and-slash will finally air on February 11.

Earlier in the week, SCEE told us they were aiming for a March 19 release for the UK, although nothing is confirmed yet.

On the back of this, expect something very, very soon.
