Twisted Metal coming Valentine’s Day

Twisted Metal director David Jaffe announced the game’s new release date today. The vehicular combat game will launch on PS3 on Valentine’s Day (February 14th) in North America.

“It’s a very romantic game,” Jaffe said in a video address to fans. “I predict people will come home from their romantic dinners, and play the crap out of local split-screen.”

PlayStation.Blog in Europe confirmed that the European launch of the game will occur around the same time.

Twisted Metal was originally scheduled to arrive this fall. Jaffe announced a delay to the game a couple weeks back.  “With this extra time for tuning and polish – the game is going to be so much better than it already is,” said Jaffe.
