Once slated for release in February, the Xbox 360 edition of the PC action role-playing game has gone gold and is ready for a May 12 debut, publisher cdv Software Entertainment announced today. A representative with the publisher told GameSpot that the PlayStation 3 edition of the game is not yet finished but remains on target for a simultaneous launch with its 360 counterpart.
