UPDATE: From Dust is coming earlier than you thought! Eric Chahi’s god game hits PSN next week on September 13th.
The wait to experience Eric Chahi’s award-winning strategy game, From Dust is almost over. We’re happy to announce that From Dust will be coming to the PlayStation Network on September 27th. In a little less than three weeks, players will get a chance to experience the winner of Game Critic’s Awards Best Strategy Game of E3 and what Game Informer called “a breath of fresh air.”
From Dust puts players in control of The Breath, a mysterious power used by a primitive tribe to battle against the forces of nature. Players will use this power to help the tribe regain the knowledge of their ancestors. However, regaining this knowledge won’t be an easy task for players as the world of From Dust hosts volatile natural elements, including volcano eruptions and tidal waves.
From Dust will be available on the PlayStation Network on September 27th for $14.99.
Oh awesome, I thought this was a XBLA and PC exclusive.
Great to see it heading to PSN as well.
lolwut? Guess I might get it on PS3 since the PC version has terrible controls from what I’ve read. Hooray Eric Chahi goodness!
I guess there are no other systems left to release it on? We finally get our turn?
looks fine lets see how much its cost
Does the PSN version also have that INSANELY stupid DRM? :l
I’m not buying it. I’m sick of Ubisoft and their timed exclusives for Microsoft, this has to be the third Ubisoft game this year that has saw a late release on PS3. A major publisher should not treat a fanbase as an afterthought
move support atleast?
@lilwaynesuckz. Agreed with both your user name and point. I buy a ton of content via psn. If developers want my dollars, I’ll have to be treated better than a married man’s mistress.
I might have to pick this one up.
@LilWayneSuckz
You do know that the Assassin’s Creed Revalation Beta is exclusive to PSN, which is made by Ubisoft.
@dlilbig5
Sony has an advertisement deal with Ubisoft regarding Assassin’s Creed titles. Clearly you noticed the Sony Playstation branded Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood commercials that ran when the game was released.
Beta =/= full downloadable games/retail games
Its clear Ubisoft favors the 360, Child of Eden has been on the 360 since June and has yet to be released on the PS3. Beyond Good and Evil came out on the 360 months before (following the PSN hack) the PSN version was even supposed to be released due to another timed exclusive, and now From Dust which has been on the 360 since early summer and soon after on the PC is just now getting a release date for the end of September.
I predict low sales for this game and I have no sympathy. Ubisoft as a major publisher has no business with these timed exclusives for the 360. Theres no excuses like “our team isn’t large enough” or “doesn’t have enough experience,” we’re talking about a company that releases a game annually that reaches double digit million sales.
And I say that having and playing both the 360 and the PS3 regularly. I hate when gamers aren’t able to play games because of under the table deals publishers make with other companies. Say what you will about the beta being exclusive, the beta is not a full downloadable title, I could only imagine the outcry that would occur if a major Ubisoft title like the next Prince of Persia only appeared on the PS3 and PC and not the 360, but this same thing happened with Splinter Cell Conviction, its still not on the PS3.
I blame Microsoft and their horrible policy regarding games first appearing on XBL or not appearing on their service at all…
Someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning huh?
PS+DiscountPlzThx!
