After getting a release date for its 360 version, Armored Core 4 now has a release date for its PS3 release. Publisher 505 Games announced that the title will be released on the PS3 on the 27th of April.

Armored Core 4 exploits the awesome power of PlayStation 3 to deliver astounding visuals and eye-watering special effects, including dynamic lighting and shadows, swirling water and mysterious fog. Mech designs benefit from massively more detailed 3D models and the arenas and environments now offer a giant leap in interactivity and detail. Players can use these interactive features to their advantage, for instance by smashing open arena walls to let in the light and search for enemies, or by hiding in water to ambush rivals.

Aside from the amount of mech customization that will be expected in the newest installment of the Armored Core series, the press release also mentions the attention paid to multiplayer. The game will have online multiplayer, that in addition to battling other mechs, will allow you to trade match data, emblems and mech designs. The focus in this title seems to be heavily skewed towards fast paced mech action so look forward to battling it out with your friends this spring.
