An update on Sony's official PlayStation.Blog last night confirmed that development on Factor 5's dragon-riding adventure Lair has concluded, and that the PlayStation 3 exclusive is now being manufactured for North American release on August 14th. Associate Producer Ryan Hamlyn delivered the news, further noting that while we'll see it soon, the job is not yet complete for Factor 5.
"For us, there's still a bit of work to do, as we have localization to finish up for Europe, Japan, Korea, and more, which will all hopefully follow very soon," said Hamlyn. "Once those are out, our leaderboards will truly be global, and then we can see once and for all who the best Lair players are out there! The gauntlet has been thrown, and North American players are getting Lair first, so don't give that advantage away..."
We spent some time with a near-final version of the game back in May, so check out our impressions for some insight on the highlights (and lowlights) of the Lair experience as it entered the final polishing stages.
