PlayStation 3 exclusive hits next month.

Move-enabled PlayStation 3 exclusive SOCOM Special Forces launches in the UK and Ireland on 22nd April, Sony has announced.

It hits mainland Europe on 20th April and Australia and New Zealand on 21st April.

Exclusive PlayStation Plus access to the SOCOM: Special Forces beta begins on 23rd March.

Back in July last year developer Zipper Interactive promised gamers SOCOM 4 would be worth the wait.

Ellie interviewed European SOCOM producer Elliott Martin back in April 2010 and discovered all sorts of interesting gubbins about the military shooter.
