I forrige uke avslørte Sony omslaget til Resistance 3, og nå har de annonsert lanseringsdatoen. Spillet vil bli lansert den 7. september, som er en dag etter den amerikanske utgivelsesdatoen.

Forhåndsbestillingsbonusene ble også avslørt ved offentliggjøringen, samt en nærmere kikk på Special- og Survivor-utgavene. I tillegg annonserte Sony at de to første Resistance-spillene vil bli utgitt i en samlepakke til sommeren, som vil gå under navnet Resistance Greatest Hits.

Bonusene og innholdet i spesialutgavene ser dere under:

SRPA Black Ops skin
Once a common sight in the war against the Chimera, this special SRPA Black Ops multiplayer skin lets you return to the battlefield as one of the most mysterious and deadly soldiers from Resistance 2 and Resistance: Fall of Man.

Infected Nathan Hale skin
By skipping his viral inhibitor treatment throughout Resistance 2, Nathan Hale fell victim to the deadly Chimera virus. Now you can resurrect the fallen hero with this special multiplayer character skin.
