A member of staff from Square Enix, Emily, announced on her Twitter that Final Fantasy XIII-2 will be launching in January in North America. Presumably the game will be launching in Europe around the same time, as was the story for the original game.

Also below are some gameplay trailers from E3 2011 showing off some of the games new features: Mog Clock (instead of being aware of enemies on screen they randomly appear on screen, and you have time to get a pre-emptive strike), Live Trigger (option to choose what you want to do) and the slightly revamped battle system where you can recruit monsters to your party. You can also see that the maps are now much more open. The second trailer shows the first fight with Atlus, where Cinematic Action is introduced. This is basically on screen prompts that occur in battle which can effect the flow of the fight.
