Rockstar announcement of new L.A. Noire release date imminent


After plenty of delays, this could be the final one. Rockstar is set to announce the next release date for the highly anticipated title and while delays are common with their titles, Rockstar does churn out fairly polished titles with the extra time they give themselves. For many the news of a release date being unveiled soon for such a highly anticipated title is big news indeed, but it was simply posted on Rockstar's twitter page. This is what they had to say: "L.A. Noire is coming to Xbox 360 & PlayStation 3 this spring. The official release date will be announced soon..."

Shouldn't be long now until we have the (hopefully) final release date and don't encounter any more delays.
