Girgi Girgin 38 Posted March 22, 2013 So, I am checking the "release date" on the pre order link for Amazon and Gamestop, and they BOTH say the game will be released Dec. 31st 2013... But I thought the N.A game will be released Sept. 31st 2013.. Typo? What do you guys think? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Weiss 8,279 Posted March 22, 2013 Everything is a placeholder for now. We'll let you know when an actual date appears. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Xalaru 445 Posted March 22, 2013 It probably isn't being released on September 31st, and it definitely isn't December because that's Winter. But for now, there isn't an official date in any region outside of Japan. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Geralt 4,874 Posted March 22, 2013 When there is not a specific confirmation date but only a year known they'll put the last day of the year as a placeholder. Not a typo, it's just protocol. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WakelessDream 2,282 Posted March 22, 2013 (edited) As everyone else said, typically those end of month dates are place holders. Also I will tell you right now that it won't come out on September 31st, as September only has 30 days >_> Edited March 22, 2013 by WakelessDream 2 Geralt and Mystics Apprentice reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rob 5,571 Posted March 23, 2013 A long time ago when video games were created(not really, but for the sake of the story), there were these dates known as "placeholders." Companies didnt have an exact release date for a game(ex: was told it would release in 2013), so they placed the date on the last day of the year. Fin.

Mystics Apprentice 2,397 Posted March 23, 2013 I don't think either of those dates are accurate. As others said, it's probably just a placeholder date to say it's "coming soon" because they don't know the actual release date yet. I know the Mark of Mastery edition said that its release date was Dec. 31st for the longest time, then they changed it to the actual date later. My guess is it's probably something like that.
