The title was revealed shortly before the beginning of the Electronic Entertainment Expo 2010 on the PlayStation Blog by Evolution Studios on 6 June. The planned UK release date of MotorStorm: Apocalypse was 16 March 2011, but was delayed by Sony Computer Entertainment UK following the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami in Japan. The Australian launch went ahead as planned on 17 March, but Sony announced further shipments of the game to that country were halted in the wake of the disaster. The planned North American release date of 12 April was delayed again by Sony who later confirmed new releases dates of 31 March in the UK and 3 May in North America. The Multiplayer servers were closed on 27 August 2018.
