"Ape Quest" was released in 2008 to the US PSN store, and was the first game to be developed by Sony Computer Entertainment America. It was published by Sony Computer Entertainment Europe in May 2008 and was released in March 2009 in Japan. It was the first game in the series to be a PSN-only game, excluding Asia, where it received a physical release. In 2009, a game titled "Ape Escape" was announced along with the PlayStation Move. Critics speculated that it was the fourth entry in the series, after Sony's 2006 advertisement. In Q3 2010, "PlayStation Move: Ape Escape" was officially announced under the party genre, and with a different name for every region. It was released in Japan in December 2010, Asia in January 2011, and the UK and Europe in mid-2012. In the US, the game was only made available on the PSN store. After the release of "PlayStation Move: Ape Escape", no games were announced in 2012, making it the first year since 2002 that no "Ape Escape" game had been released and the first year that no game had been announced within each region.
