Killzone: Mercenary Coming to PS Vita Earlier Than Expected

Today, Sony revealed that its eagerly-anticipated PS Vita exclusive Killzone: Mercenary will be releasing earlier than expected. Originally planned for release on September 17th in North America and September 18th in Europe, the game will now launch on September 4th in Europe, September 6th in the UK and September 10th in North America.

Though not implicitly stated, this is a wise move on Sony’s part and likely designed to get out of the way of Grand Theft Auto V, which is set for release worldwide on September 17th.

Killzone: Mercenary is currently under development at Sony-owned studio Guerrilla Cambridge – formerly Sony Cambridge – and will be one of two Killzone games to release in 2013. The other – Killzone: Shadow Fall – will launch alongside PlayStation 4 later this year.
