Gran Turismo 6 gets PS3 box art (apparently the box art was fake), November 28 release date from retailer

We’ve been hearing rumors that Gran Turismo 6 is a PS3 game since late February. And that rumor was reinforced last week when a listing for the game appeared on Newegg and has remained live. Now it seems another retailer has decided to give the game a listing along with provisional box art and a release date.

The Newegg listing gave no details beyond the fact GT6 is a PS3 game, but Italian retailer multiplayer.com has gone a step further. They are stating the game will be released on November 28 and have also posted a picture of the box art you can see below. It is stated the art is not final, but if that’s what ends up being final art I don’t think anyone would be upset.

If the November 28 release date is to be believed, that’s probably after the PlayStation 4 has launched, or at least in the same release window. That is surprising, but maybe Sony had little choice. The game can’t easily be ported to the PS4 due to the different hardware architectures, and developer Polyphony Digital is well known for shipping when a game is ready, not to a schedule that suits Sony.

Gran Turismo 6 now looks set to be the last major game release for Sony’s current gen console. The GT series has always been a system seller and I can’t see that changing with GT6 even this late in the lifecycle. If anything it’s going to form a bit of a bargain for racing game fans–the best looking Gran Turismo yet on a console that Sony may bundle the game with for under $300.
