Journey snelst verkopende PlayStation Network-game ooit

Jenova Chen, mede-oprichter van thatgamecompany, maakte zojuist trots bekend dat Journey de snelst verkopende PlayStation Network-game ooit in Amerika en Europa is. Het spel heeft inFamous: Festival of Blood daarmee van diens troon afgestoten. Chen liet weten de reacties van fans “overweldigend” te vinden:

We have received more letters from fans in the two weeks since Journey’s launch than we did for Flower over the past three years.

We see the personal connection between our work and the players, which is the most real and priceless reward for us. For that, we thank you so much for your support, for spending time and money to play our game, and for spreading the word about Journey to your dear friends and family.

Chen onthulde tevens dat de veelgeprezen soundtrack van Journey binnenkort beschikbaar zal zijn:

Lastly, a lot of you have seemed to really enjoy the music in the game, which was composed by Austin Wintory. And we’ve received a lot of requests to release the soundtrack of the game. Well, I’m happy to announce that the soundtrack will be hitting the PS Store and iTunes on April 11, and there will be a limited CD release in the near future as well.

Met Journey is de exclusiviteitsdeal tussen thatgamecompany en Sony afgelopen. Of het volgende project van de studio ook naar andere platforms zal komen, is nog niet bekend. Om het succes van Journey te vieren gaf thatgamecompany onderstaande tekening vrij.
