Evolution Studios' MotorStorm Pacific Rift - the demo of which is live today on PSN - has, according to the US PlayStation blog been dated for release... in North America at least.

We've been giving the demo a right good driving in recent weeks (see our initial take on it here).

We've contacted SCEE to see if we're going to get the full game over here in Yurp (that's how an American lass recently described our location to us) and were met with a very polite, "We haven't announced our released date yet. You'll hear something official from us when we can confirm our date."

So, tenterhooks then.
