The first-quarter 2009 release schedule is looking like it'll offer a bumper haul for PlayStation 3 owners, word reaching us that should be set for release in January.

According to MCV, rumours that the large-scale will land on January 29th have been confirmed, seemingly fleshing out their previous 'Q1 2009' dating.

With 3 and also due out before March, a second Christmas-style release frenzy appears to be building ahead of the spring, the PS3's line-up in fine fetter.

MAG will apparently support a whopping 256 players online. More soon.
