The producer on the adorable virtual pet in augmented reality game EyePet, Nicolas Doucet, has announced the release date in Europe is October 23rd, 2009. With a November 17th date set for America.

EyePet is being developed by Sony Computer Entertainment London Studio. The company announced the title will retail at €49.99 ($59.99) in a pack that includes the PlayStation Eye camera. The camera enables users to interact with a tiny simian friend using objects and friends in the real world. A new trailers (see below the interview) shows the EyePet will react to actions and sounds like hand claps, and interact with virtual objects created by the player. — The game will also be available separate (at a $20 cheaper price) for those who already have a PS Eye.

If that doesn’t warm your heart I don’t know what will. Uber cuteness for the kids or those young at heart!

Mcjakeqcool: That’s what people said about Sony’s SingStar games, but those have been selling at a pace of about 3 million per year in Europe alone!

You can’t really predict if something is going to be a hit, until people either hype it before release or tell their friends how fun it is after launch until it catches on.
