Heavy Rain patch on the way

SCEA's confirmed a Heavy Rain patch is in the pipeline, saying it'll be "released very soon".

Speaking on the game's US forum, a mod from the firm said it was in "the final stages of testing".

"The latest news is that the game patch has now completed development and is currently in the final stages of testing. While a fixed release date is not currently available we are expecting the update to be released very soon.

As mentioned previously, this patch is not targeted purely at the issues reported in this thread but does address a range of minor issues which could be contributing factors. Given the small percentage of players affected by these issues and the difficulty that has been had in reproducing them here we're optimistic that this patch resolves your problems but cannot guarantee that this will be the case."

The patch is to fix the freezing for the Quantic Dream title which has affected some gamers.

Last week, SCEE said the game has now been restocked in the UK after a short stock shortage.
