Final Fantasy XIII-2 will be released early 2012 on PS3 and Xbox 360, Square Enix has announced.

The date comes at the end of a new E3 video for the Final Fantasy XIII sequel.

The Final Fantasy XIII-2 video shows returning heroine Lightning meeting and fighting alongside a new hero. The battle scenes are spectacular.
