SEGA has announced the North American release date for Shinji Mikami’s upcoming third person shooter, Vanquish. The game will be released on October 19, 2010 in NA, October 22 in Europe and October 21 in Japan. SEGA has also detailed the Gamestop exclusive pre-order content for the game, those who pre-order the game from Gamestop will have exclusive access to a three-weapon pack, available via XBL and PSN.
The Tri-Weapon pack contains a small arsenal of experimental technology, made up of the Boost Machine Gun, Anti-Armor Pistol and Laser Cannon. This triple threat of futuristic weaponry gives players an edge in surviving the frenetic and massive battles onboard the vast space station setting of VANQUISH. The Boost Machine Gun is an early experimental weapon with impressive overall fire power and the speed to dispense rounds similar to that of a heavy machine gun. The Anti-Armor Pistol fires a special penetrative shell and was manufactured to tackle hostile forces with much stronger armor. Finally, the Laser Cannon is a miniaturized space warship laser and is more powerful than any other weapon available for infantry.
