Journey will be released on the European PlayStation Store in March, it has been announced.
The game was rumoured for a March release after it was recently revealed to have gone gold.
Writing on the PlayStation Blog, thatgamecompany's Jenova Chen confirmed that the "interactive parable" would in fact launch on March 14.
"We started working on Journey right after Flower launched, and the past three years have flown by extremely fast. In these three years, we at thatgamecompany and our friends in SCEA Santa Monica Studio have faced many challenges together and emerged stronger," writes Chen.
"Much sweat and tears have been put into the development of the game, and many people have come and gone.
"So for us, the journey in the game has also become a metaphor for the development process of the game itself. Our team is very close to our own mountaintop; we are just a few short weeks away from letting the world experience what we've poured our hearts and souls into these last three years," he concludes.
Journey was announced at last year's E3 event in Los Angeles. The game sees players guide a mysterious robed figure across a vast desert to an alluring mountain in the distance.
It will be possible to join others through online play and interact with the world to uncover an ancient civilisation.
Previous titles from thatgamecompany include flOw and Flower, which are played entirely through motion control.
