According to a recent post on SCEA’s PlayStation Blog, Rockstar Games is creating a new franchise exclusively for the PS3.

Michael Shorrock, Director of 3rd Party Relations at SCEA, commented “We are announcing that a new franchise from Rockstar Games will be exclusive to PS3. As part of our long standing relationship with Rockstar, and the incredible success for both companies with the cultural icon that is Grand Theft Auto, we’ve agreed to the PlayStation exclusive rights of the next great franchise from the Rockstar studios.”

Harnessing the power of the PS3

According to Shorrock the game is “not LA Noire, but something all new.” He continued that “Everyone knows to have success in this business you need to look ahead, identifying the talent and titles that are going to give consumers new kinds of gaming experiences that help set the bar for the rest of the industry. Rockstar has a heritage for doing just that. We have had incredible success with the GTA franchise and are happy to continue to offer those titles on our platforms, and even more excited about what’s to come from the current and future relationship between our companies. Rockstar really wanted to make a game that you can truly only do on PS3, harnessing the power of CELL and Blu-ray disc and this deal lets them do just that.”

SCEA has agreed with Rockstar and Take Two that nothing further about the deal or title would be disclosed at this time but promised to “share more info as soon as [they] could.”
