Hydrophobia coming to PS3, PC

By Kyle Orland Published 29 April, 2010

Xbox 360 release is "timed exclusive".

Dark Energy Digital boss Pete Jones has clarified his company's long-in-development water-based thriller Hydrophobia will indeed appear on the PC and PS3.

Speaking with IncGamers, Jones said the game would initially launch on the Xbox 360 as a timed exclusive, with the PC and PS3 versions following "at some point".

In the interview, Jones also mentioned that the Xbox 360 version would also be receiving a full, boxed release alongside the previously-known Xbox Live version. The PS3 version will still be download-only, Jones said.

Specifics on various release dates and price points are still unavailable.

Hydrophobia was originally announced as a multi-platform title way back in 2007, when PS2 and PSP versions were also said to be in development. Dark Energy Digital had said the game would be an Xbox Live Arcade exclusive as recently as last month.

Check out the game's extremely wet action in a recent trailer on Eurogamer TV.

    Completely forgot abou this title.
    Was initially excited (kinda still am), but this is turning into water-vapourware now (pun intended).

    I hate the way that instead of spending money to get great games on their system, modern platform holders instead spend that money ensuring great games don't get on competitors' systems.

    It's nothing new, Sony were pretty much the champions of that last gen.

    Really looking forward to this hoping the game turns out to be a uncharted like game but with a water twist but really i don't know if that is the case i have my doubts since their past games seems to be largely snooker games. but it dose look like a shooter with less on the climbing than uncharted and the environments look a lot less exciting i dunno what to expect but it dose look good if its a serous game.

    I was interested in this before but kind of forgot about it. Now that its cropped up it makes me feel moist and damp.
