rain Arrives on PS3 Today

rain will be available for purchase today on PS3 for $14.99! Also, starting today, the full soundtrack for rain will also be available for $9.99, featuring the enchanting music created by composer Yugo Kanno and the gifted singer Connie Talbot.

To celebrate the launch of rain, we played through the game LIVE here on PlayStation.Blog and on Twitch earlier today. We hope you enjoyed the stream, and got a better feel for rain!

It’s been an amazing journey to bring the story of rain to life. Director Yuuki Ikeda initially had the idea to write a story about a boy who was invisible and could only be seen in the rain. Inspired by an experience he had as a child where he found himself lost, the story of rain has flourished into an emotionally dynamic adventure, brought to life by the talented team at PlayStation C.A.M.P.

Thank you for supporting rain, and we hope you enjoy playing!

    Wow, I didn’t know about the preorder bonuses. Game looks great. May have to preorder it tonight.

    I pre-ordered Rain a month and all I got was a static theme. I didn’t get any of the dynamic theme, avatars, montages just because I pre-ordered early? >:(

    I feel like this game has kind of snuck up on me. Unfortunately I don’t have the money to purchase right now. I’m definitely going to get it at some point though. It looks amazing. :)

    When is the review embargo up? It being so close to launch has me a bit nervous.

    So, your plan to celebrate the release of the game is to spoil it for everyone?

    • Dais Kawaguchi
      September 30, 2013 at 3:21 pm PDT

      Please find the answers to your Qs below.
      1: The musical montage will be different from the soundtrack and it will not be available to purchase after today.
      2: rain will be available when the PSN Store updates tomorrow, it will not be available at midnight :((

    This would have been perfect on the Vita. Please consider a Vita version.

    I’m really sad that I will not be able to purchase this due to the fact that I am currently jobless. But once I get a job I will buy Rain in a heartbeat.

    Oh I forgot to say that this game looks stunning visually and it’s presentation and environments seem flawless. Nice job Dais!

    Cool game but I don’t like the price to me its over priced. I think I will wait it out until it hits $7.50 than snatch it up.

    What’s up with the review embargo? I’ve been looking forward to this game but I’m getting nervous from the lack of reviews — in my experience, when a publisher restricts reviews pre-launch, that’s not a good sign ….

  • Egz-Onine

    I wish the free codes were available through some other means than during a spoiler-cast. A game and soundtrack bundle would be sweet, too. It would be nice to buy a $20 PSN card and get both rather than buying $30 in cards and have $5 sitting there.

  • IrishDude2
    October 1, 2013 at 9:44 am PDT

    Why you doing a livestream? Wouldn’t that ruin the game?

  • lisatsunami
    October 1, 2013 at 9:52 am PDT

    Good morning, Dais. Ready for the livestream. I’ll look away if it becomes too spoiler-y.

    I preordered, but how do I download the game? I’m assuming it’s live now but when I try to download it, it just downloads the theme, which I already got when I preordered.

  • Kikohin

    Wow, i really hope playstation does more livestreams like this, that was fun.

  • Elvick_
    October 1, 2013 at 11:38 am PDT

    @39: I asked in the stream if they were going to, and they said yes. Which is nice.

    Along with streams, I hope Sony hand out codes to YouTubers popular for doing Let’s Plays. MS has been doing that lately.

  • SeanStrange
