So it looks like the earlier rumour was false but not far from the truth. Last week Square Enix was teasing an announcement of some kind via PlayStation Home on Friday. As Friday approached there were further speculation that it would be a trailer with never before seen footage.

Final Fantasy XIII: APRIL 15th 2010, Yes please

According to website The 13th Crystal, via French video game retailer Micromania, who posted the release date on their website. Apparently Micromania was holding a special event called Micromania Game Show earlier today and have a Final Fantasy XIII part later in the evening where the date is supposed to be official.

Also confirmed is that Eidos (soon to be Square Enix Europe) will be responsible for publishing the title in Europe. Obviously some might think, [i]What does a European retailer have anything to do with a North American release?[/i], well the game is supposed to launch simultaneously in North America and Europe which explains things quite nicely.

Update: Turns out that Eidos has denied the release date, so consider this to be a rumour for now.
