AAA game Adrift now PS3 exclusive, published by Sony

It seems Playstation users are getting very lucky this month. SystemLink exclusively revealed that God of War 4 had been listed on a resume only a week ago, and now it looks as if elusive title Adrift might join the PS3-only club.

An environment artist, who's name we are withholding for privacy reasons, has listed Adrift as an 'AAA action adventure game for the PS3, publish[ed] by Sony Computer Entertainment. You can see for yourself below.

The game has been in development for a number of years now, by a small 80-man team at DONTNOD Entertainment, who are hiring for an Animator on an 'AAA next gen title for a great publisher'.

Develop: What kind of projects do you plan to work on?

We aim at delivering innovative and high-quality games.

Our first project as a studio is an action-adventure game for HD consoles code-named Adrift. The game is innovative and ambitious in terms of gameplay and technology and fits triple-A games quality standards.

It’s our first project as a studio, but not as a team. Aleski, Jean-Maxime and I have already worked together at Ubisoft.

Develop: Are you looking for publishers to sign your game?

Yes. We will present our game at GDC this month. [this Q&A is from March 2009]

Though the preproduction is independently financed, we believe that the creative visions of the developer and the publisher have to meet up as soon as possible, preferably in preproduction.

Our experience is that the sooner the publisher is involved, the safer the development process is. Having the publisher on board from the beginning also facilitates building a strong marketing strategy.

Develop: What can you tell us about the game that you will be showing off at GDC this year?

I’m afraid at this point I cannot tell you more than ‘an action-adventure game set in the near future, extremely fun to play with a well-balanced gameplay and a breathtaking innovative technology.’ (laughs).

The rest is confidential for the moment.
