THQ has confirmed that Saints Row will debut for the PS3 this spring, following the successful debut of the game on Xbox 360 last August. Developed by Volition, Saints Row has sold over 550,000 copies for Xbox 360 in North America since its debut, has been largely well-received critically since its debut.
The Grand Theft Auto-inspired title will include multiplayer elements on the PS3 version, commenting that the game will bring open world gaming to the PS3 system for the first time, allowing gamers to battle rival gangsters in a variety of single and multi-player modes and will support players online via the PlayStation Network.
So it looks like Sony has resolved issues with apparent late delivery of multiplayer SDKs for the PS3 launch, which saw third-party launch titles such as Tony Hawk’s Project 8 lacking significant multiplayer and networked high-score functionality compared to the Xbox 360 version of the same title.
“Saints Row has established itself as one of the most successful original properties in next generation gaming, and we’re excited to bring the groundbreaking experience to PlayStation 3 system fans worldwide,” said Kelly Flock, executive vice president of worldwide publishing, THQ.
