Sony clarifies PS3 game dates

Sony has denied that PS3 titles Lair and Heavenly Sword are due to arrive in May - despite a listing which says otherwise on the official PlayStation website.

Speaking to our sister site, Eurogamer.net, a spokesperson said, "Both those dates are wrong. We haven't got any release dates for those at the moment; they're just pencilled in for 2007."

Heavenly Sword is a third-person action game in development at Ninja Theory. It has been promoted as a flagship title for PlayStation 3 since it was unveiled at E3 2005.

Lair is being developed by Factor 5. It will see players taking to the skies on the back of a fire-breathing dragon, and is shaping up to be one of the most ambitious PS3 titles so far.
