The PlayStation 3 version of X-Men Arcade will be released two months after the Xbox 360 version, Konami confirmed to Eurogamer this afternoon.

 

The XBLA version will be released in Europe and the US on 15th December - next Wednesday. The PSN version is slated for a February release. Pricing is yet to be revealed.

 

X-Men Arcade is a port of the classic multiplayer focused X-Men arcade game but with high definition graphics and drop-in drop-out online and local co-op.

 

Backbone Entertainment - the studio favoured by Capcom for all things PSN/XBLA: Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix, Marvel vs. Capcom 2, 1942: Joint Strike, Commando 3 – is at the helm.

 

Available to play in X-Men Arcade are Cyclops, Colossus, Dazzler, Nightcrawler, Storm and Wolverine. They're trying to take down the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants, key enemies in which are Pyro, Blob, Wendigo, Mystique, White Queen, Juggernaught and Magneto.

It appears that X-Men Arcade is coming out sooner than we thought on the PlayStation Network, at least that’s according to our contact from Konami. Yesterday we reported the confusing news regarding the release date of X-Men Arcade. According to Eurogamer, it’s coming out for the Xbox 360 on December 15th, while PS3 owners had to wait until February. At the same time, Gamefocus.ca had someone from Konami tell them that the PSN version was coming out on December 26th. That’s a Sunday though…

So we contacted Konami’s PR Manager, Robert Santini for some clarification. Here’s what he had to say:

PSN on the 14th and XBLA on the 15th. 800msft points and 9.99

Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks,

Robert

So there you have it. X-Men Arcade is apparently coming out on December 14th on the PSN for $9.99. Let’s hope that this is actually the release date! Please don’t welcome us to die if it isn’t…

Here is a link from Konami saying that it may come to PSN on December 26:

The 26th is a Sunday, so that's a no. Sony hasn't done PSN store updates between Christmas and New Years the last few years, so I wouldn't expect this year to be any different.
