Rambo: The Video Game Release Date Finally Confirmed!
Firstly I have to ask, Rambo fans are you seated? Good, because I have some news that you have been waiting a very long time for, as Rambo: The Video Game has a release date! Yes finally we have a release date for the game based upon the movie franchise that we hold so dear. Coming via the official Rambo: The Video Game Facebook page, Reef Entertainment confirmed that their game will be coming to the PC, PS3 and Xbox 360 on February 21st across Europe (this year, just to be clear). A North American release date is yet to be confirmed.
Rambo: The Video Game has been in development for quite some time now and some fans have been getting quite agitated in anticipation for a confirmed release date, so now you’ll be glad to know that you can relax. Rambo: The Video Game will be based upon the first three Studio Canal movies, so unfortunately it won’t cover the forth Rambo movie.
Below is the official press release from Reef Entertainment, which also confirms that future DLC for the game is also in the works:
UK video game publisher Reef Entertainment announced RAMBO ® THE VIDEO GAME will be available across EUROPE on 21st FEBRUARY 2014. RAMBO ® THE VIDEO GAME is planned for release on the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system and Windows® PC. A release in North America & Canada for PlayStation®3 and Windows® PC will follow later in Q1 2014.
RAMBO ® THE VIDEO GAME will put players in Rambo’s combat boots and take them on an action-packed adventure through the iconic action- sequences and story-arcs of FIRST BLOOD ™, RAMBO: FIRST BLOOD PART II ™ & RAMBO III ™.
The game will feature the original movie voice-tracks of John Rambo and Col. Samuel Trautman as well as selected music from the original Rambo Trilogy.
Selected retailers across Europe will offer one of two limited-edition figurines as pre-order incentives for RAMBO ® THE VIDEO GAME. The figurines have been designed & manufactured to the highest standards exclusively for RAMBO ® THE VIDEO GAME, giving Rambo fans a once-in-a-lifetime chance to grab a genuine collectable.
The highly detailed, hand-painted, 3-inch figurines are based on iconic images of John Rambo from FIRST BLOOD ™ & RAMBO: FIRST BLOOD PART II ™. Each figurine features authentic likeness, costume and weapons.
