Rockstar creating new franchise exclusively for PlayStation 3

"All-new" game on the way

Rockstar Games is producing a brand new videogame which "you can truly only do on PlayStation 3", according to SCEA's Michael Shorrock.

Writing on the PlayStation blog, third party relations boss Shorrock stated that the game was "not LA Noire" but "something all-new".

"Everyone knows to have success in this business you need to look ahead, identifying the talent and titles that are going to give consumers new kinds of gaming experiences that help set the bar for the rest of the industry," he continued.

"Rockstar has a heritage for doing just that. We have had incredible success with the GTA franchise and are happy to continue to offer those titles on our platforms, and even more excited about what's to come from the current and future relationship between our companies.

"Rockstar really wanted to make a game that you can truly only do on PS3, harnessing the power of Cell and Blu-ray disc and this deal lets them do just that."

SCEA has yet to reveal any details of the game's title or release did, but promised to "share more info as soon as we can".
