All Articles: Twisted Metal

Twisted Metal‘s PlayStation.com profile still lists a Spring 2011 release date, but a Sony spokesperson has confirmed to Warp Zoned that the game will be released this Fall.

The release date confusion is the latest bit of secrecy surrounding Twisted Metal after it was initially unveiled in the special features of Twisted Metal: Head-On. For several years after that, David Jaffe denied that the game was even in development until its splashy “reveal” at E3 2010.

So while it looks like we won’t get a chance to play Twisted Metal in the next few months, at least Sony isn’t pretending it doesn’t exist anymore.

Sony has updated the release date on Twisted Metal‘s PlayStation.com listing and, unless someone jumped the gun, it looks like we finally know when we’ll be able to strap on the demonic clown mask one more time. As of right now, the game’s release date is currently listed as “Spring 2011.”

Previously, the game had been saddled with a “TBA 2011” release date, but we know that David Jaffe, Scott Campbell and the rest of the team at Eat Sleep Play have been working on the game since at least 2008. That already lengthy development cycle (and Sony’s packed PS3 schedule for the Fall) lend further credence to a Spring release.

However, Sony has yet to confirm the news with a PlayStation.Blog post or a press release. We’ve contacted the publisher to ask just when Twisted Metal will be let out of the garage and we’ll update this post when we hear back.

UPDATE: A Sony spokesperson has confirmed that Twisted Metal will be released in Fall 2011.
