Hi,

Probably just a place holder, but hey... you never know!

100% a placeholder.

We definitely know it's not real. Why would any major AAA game release after such a huge holiday.

Please use your best *sarcastic accent" when revealing this release date to friends and fellow gamers!

Almost all games are listed on most retailer’s sites this way before the official release dates are announced.

I said this before and I'll say it again:

Any release date you see before it is officially announced by PD/Sony is fake. Stores put up placeholders, some news websites will just make stuff up. Until an official announcement is made, everyone that is not PD/Sony knows just as much as you do.

Well, there are the very rare occasions where Sony tell retailers a release date and they leak it before Sony go public, but as said, that actually happening is pretty rare. 99% of the time store dates before official announcements are made up, one way or another.

OMG, my bad... I guess "wishful thinking"

Title should be changed to “Definitely not real.”

Why do people still fall for this? It's been known for years that the 31st of December is a placeholder date for an unreleased game.

Although it’s only a placeholder, it wouldn’t be too far from what PD already did in past:
