As an update to our earlier article about the confirmed tie-up between Xfire and Sony Online Entertainment (SOE), Sony once again affirmed us that Xfire features will be integrated into the action-RPG Untold Legends: Dark Kingdom ONLY and not into the PS3 console itself.

During a press event in California, Sony said that Dark Kingdom is set to be launched (along with the console of course) with Xfire’s friend tracking and chat services, both of which will allow players to see when their friends are also playing Dark Kingdom and chat with them whether they’re playing the game on their PC or PS3.

When connected to the internet, PS3 users will be able to access Xfire from the front end of Dark Kingdom, and after logging in, they will receive notifications when their friends have also logged in to the Xfire network. As mentioned, Xfire services in Untold Legends: Dark Kingdom will be cross-platform, which means that friends can chat with each other whether they’re on a PS3 or PC.

Xfire also announced at the same event that they have already received a PS3 Tools and Middleware Development and License Agreement from Sony, which will allow Xfire to create an SDK for PS3 game developers. And as you guys probably know already, Xfire is totally free, all you need is an internet connection. With online multiplayer gameplay and online services, Untold Legends: Dark Kingdom is definitely one title that would-be PS3 owners should look out for (and buy!) come November, when the PS3 is launched, along with the game.
