As you may know from my recent tweet, the development of our latest PlayStation Network game, Journey, is finally complete. And today, we’re very excited to announce the official release date for Journey. You will be able to download it from the PlayStation Store for $14.99 starting March 13th, 2012. Three years ago, our last game, Flower, was part of the Spring Fever event on PSN, and this year Journey will kick off this year’s Spring Fever. Look for more information on the highlight games and sales of this year’s Spring Fever event on the PlayStation.Blog in the coming weeks.

With each game we create, we want to bring something truly unique and authentic to the user. We want our players to experience something they have never felt before. Our first game for PSN was flOw in 2007, a meditative zen video game haiku. We followed that in 2009 with Flower, our video game version of a poem about the tension between urban bustle and natural serenity. Journey, our third game, is an interactive parable, an anonymous online adventure to experience a person’s life passage and their intersections with other’s.

Hello 2012!  We’re in the final stages of working on Journey, preparing the game for it’s Spring launch, so we though we’d share some fantastic art made by some really awesome fans!

“State of Play” is a new videogames interview show that brings you real, in-depth, and personal interviews with the gaming industry’s most interesting people. And they kicked off  their series with a 3-part interview with co-Founder Kellee Santiago! Watch the videos below for a discussion on the past, present, and future of thatgamecompany.

As you may have heard, Journey was recently shown at Austin’s annual Fantastic Fest!

The game was featured on several stations at the Highball Lounge – which is just next to the Alamo Drafthouse (where the festival takes place). The Sony portion of this event featured several of PSN’s upcoming indie releases – including Retro/Grade, Okabu, Papo y Yo, PixelJunk 4am and Closure. And the Fantastic Arcade showcased even more indie greatness!

It was great to have this opportunity to share the game to the Austin public – and to host our third fan meet-up.  We shared the game with some fantastic people, and also met developers from Junction Point, Arkane, BioWare, and several other local studios. Thanks to everyone who came out – especially folks who drove long distances to come and play the game!

A heartfelt thanks goes out to the staff of the Highball and of course, the organizers of Fantastic Fest & it’s Arcade showcase. Their hospitality and excitement about Journey was visible in every aspect of the event. If you live in/near Austin, definitely put it on your calendar for next year!
