Vanguard dated

Due end of the month.

Sony Online Entertainment has announced that Vanguard: Saga of Heroes will launch across the US and Europe on 30th January.

"We are excited about delivering an MMO with immersive gameplay features that bring new depth and fun to the genre," said Brad McQuaid, CEO of developer Sigil Games Online.

"Vanguard gives players the chance to live in a breathtaking world and try new things such as our diplomacy system and our unique approach to crafting. We're proud to be delivering this level of great gameplay for years to come."

The game is currently in testing, and you may have noticed us handing out beta keys for this earlier in the week, though unfortunately all of those have now gone.

Still, Koch Media's pre-order campaign, exclusive to GAME stores in the UK, starts today, and will give you access to the title a full three days earlier than everybody else.

Vanguard: Saga of Heroes is an MMO that hopes to offer players something different to rival online adventures, you can catch up with our recent impressions here.

But initial reactions to the game are mixed, with a sizeable percentage of you suggesting that the game is in quite a buggy state, and is being rushed to release. Look for our review soon.
