While only a vague release date of ‘Holiday 2013’ currently exists for Ratchet & Clank’s latest adventure, Into the Nexus, it looks like a release date may have finally been locked down for its Japanese launch.

Amazon.co.jp and several other Japanese retailers have recently added new listings for the upcoming ‘ Ratchet & Clank Ginga Saikyo Tristar Pack’ which will be released on December 12, 2013 featuring Into the Nexus, QForce & Quest for Booty, the latter two previously only available via PSN in Japan. With the Japanese launch date set, hopefully Into the Nexus will launch either sooner or simultaneously in with Japan for other regions including the US and EU.

Update : We have been informed by Insomniac that Ratchet & Clank: Nexus will be seeing a physical release in Europe, the same as in the US but there are currently no plans for this new collection to be released outside of Japan.
