Housemarque to announce PS3 exclusive game at Nordic Game 07

The Nordic Game Conference will be held in Malmo, Sweden come May 15 and 16. But even this early, the event is turning out to be star-studded as several speakers have already been named: Sony Producer Paulina Bozek, PaRappa the Rapper Producer Matsuura Masaya, and LocoRoco‘s Kouno Tsutomu among others.

Finnish game development studio Housemarque will also be attending the conference. Now, who the heck is Housemarque? Remember Atari‘s Transworld Snowboarding for Xbox back in 2002? That’s from Housemarque. Well, we know the company is not well-known to most people, but you will be happy to know that its developers are currently working hard on an undisclosed PlayStation 3 (PS3) exclusive title.

There isn’t much known about this video game except that it’s going to be a downloadable game developed for Sony Computer Entertainment Europe (SCEE). Housemarque CEO Ilari Kuittinen will reveal the game during the speech “Adaptation, Opportunities and Survival – Life of a Game Development Studio” during the conference.

According to Kuittinen, “Housemarque is again blazing trails as a game developer in Finland. We are the first company to develop a Playstation 3 game and the first to work for Sony Computer Entertainment as a first party developer.”
