The PlayStation Blog has a couple of official dates for two anticipated third-party games that are coming out.
First, the console port of Diablo III will be coming out early fall. Square Enix's third installment of their latest Final Fantasy game, Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII, will be released in the first quarter of next year.

The console port for Diablo III will have a release on both the PlayStation 3 and PS4, with the new console version obviously coming out later on.
Its conversion to the consoles won't necessarily be that rough. As pointed out in this Kotaku post, the layout fits the controllers fairly well. Having the thought of releasing it on consoles while in development isn't hard to imagine.
Especially when it's published by Activision who makes bank on the Call of Duty series. Let's just hope Diablo doesn't become the next yearly release unless it's got the same high production value of the Assassin's Creed series.
Whether or not people are still interested in the FFXIII story remains to be seen, but the conclusion (hopefully) will arrive just for the current generation consoles. The good news is the artwork is beautiful as expected and there looks to be a whole new environment to explore.
Considering all the exclusive and big titles already coming out for the rest of the year, it's a good move to push this into the late winter season. Now we'll just have to wait and see what happens with Final Fantasy Versus XIII.
