Braid.jpg

[Update: Hothead Games have confirmed to IGN that Braid will indeed have a release via the PSN, but did not give details on when it will be released.]

Jonathan Blow mentioned the possibility of a PSN release of Braid a while back, but said it could only happen after the Xbox Live exclusivity period was over. Now an entry on the German USK ratings board website has reared its head which appears to confirm the existence of a PS3 version of the award-winning platformer.

Naming the publisher as Hothead Games, the one year anniversary for Braid is coming up soon, so it wouldn't be at all surprising. Hopefully Jonathan will bring light to the situation soon, but it's looking hopeful for PS3 owners.

I'm not very sure, but I think so far whenever the USK listed a previously unannounced game, it was surely released afterwards. After all, they can only list the games publishers send them to test and rate. So, I'd say this is a pretty certain announcement :)

Hothead Games have confirmed it:

@chubigans: Thanks very much :)

Meh, I got it on the PC already, but imo this is a title made for consoles. I don't have a 360 but I have a PS3. If this will be released for 10 bucks, it's a buy for me. Jonathan Blow is a pompous twat, but he is good.

you're the pompous twat, joecucan. if you don't even like indie games, fuck off.

braid == indie games? haha!
