According to the latest issue of Japanese game magazine Famitsu, Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker will be available in Japan on March 18th.

This latest PSP outing for the Metal Gear Solid franchise is looking extremely good, as Hideo Kojima himself is working closely with the team behind Metal Gear Solid 4 to squeeze every last drop of performance and features out of the handheld.

No official release date for Peace Walker has been confirmed for territories outside Japan, but if modern release schedules are anything to go by, the Western launch of the game won’t be too far behind.
