Sony has announced that it will be releasing its Motion Controller worldwide for the PS3 this fall/autumn. The new Motion Controller will be available in Japan, Asian regions, North America and Europe/PAL territories, along with what the publisher promises will be an “extensive line-up of software titles.”

In case you hadn’t heard, the new controller can “detect natural and intuitive movement of the hand and reflect the precise movement within the game” when combined with the PlayStation Eye camera.

However, rest assured that it will be a worthy investment because Sony endeavours to “vigorously promote the Motion Controller as the de facto controller of the PS3 platform along with the DUALSHOCK series controller and will deploy various measures to enhance the software title line-up for the Motion Controller, delivering groundbreaking interactive entertainment only possible on the PS3 platform.”

It’s clear from the press release that Sony is still sticking with the tentative name of Motion Controller for their new project, with no mention of the rumoured Arc title anywhere to be seen.

“We have decided to release the Motion Controller in fall 2010 when we will be able to offer an exciting and varied line-up of software titles that will deliver the new entertainment experience to PS3 users, ” said Kazuo Hirai, President and Group CEO, Sony Computer Entertainment Inc.

“We will continue to work to have a comprehensive portfolio of attractive and innovative games for the Motion Controller, not only from SCE Worldwide Studios but also from the third party developers and publishers, whom we have been working closely with. We look forward to soon unveiling the exciting software line-up that further expand and define the PS3 platform as the ultimate entertainment system for the home.”
