Acclaimed PC indie platforming series Rocketbirds is on its way to PlayStation Network, developer Ratloop Asia has announced.

Rocketbirds: Hardboiled Chicken puts you in the shoes of a gun-toting rooster as he blasts his way through the city of Albatropolis in an attempt to dispatch Putzki, the evil leader of the Penguins.

"You'll have to kill many penguins, solve puzzles, incite revolution, and maybe possibly pilot a few jetpacks," producer Sian Yue Tan told the PlayStation Blog.

The PC original, Rocketbirds: Revolution!, bagged three nominations at the 2010 Independent Games Festival.

Hardboiled Chicken will be up for download on PSN in "late 2011/early 2012". Trailer below.
