The producer of Square Enix’s Final Fantasy XIII, Yoshinori Kitase, has stated at GamesCom that the game will be released on both the PS3 and 360 simultaneously.

“We don’t have the actual month down yet, but in Japan it’s scheduled for a winter release, and in Europe and North American territories it’s spring 2010,” he told VG247.

“For Europe and North America, the PS3 and 360 versions are going to be released simultaneously.”

“For previous titles it took usually about a year to localise each version and bring it over to Europe,” he added. “But for this title there should be a considerably shorter gap and we’ll bring it to European territories as close to the North American release as possible.”
