Insomniac Games Revealing Its Multiplatform Game Next Week

Finally, Achievements and Trophies living in harmony under Insomniac's roof.

I'm about to hop onto a plane to Los Angeles, but wanted to give you guys a quick heads up!

When Insomniac Games announced its decision to become a multiplatform developer last year, the studio didn't reveal a new game alongside the news. We'll finally know what game will mark Insomniac Games' move onto Xbox 360 at the Electronic Arts press conference on Monday, according to the company's Twitter account.

Speculate away! (Please don't be another shooter.)

This is not Insomniac's new game.

An employee of Insomniac Games was watching Destructoid's Justin.tv channel last night and I asked him/her if they were going to reveal their multiplatform game next week. Their response: We're currently focused on Resistance and Ratchet & Clank. Deceitful!

@Crunchman: I think EA finally decided to publish Conrad's Mustache.

Based on that picture it looks like a first or third person shooter with a The Mist/Monsters vibe.

That's Resistance 3. PS3 exclusive. Its an FPS.

Resistance isn't that great in my opinion. What you should be excited for is Ratchet and Clank, those games are brilliant.

guys, it cant be Resistance or Ratchet and Clank. while insomniac came up with the ideas and made the games those are Sony owned IPs so they will never be multiplat

@ptys: except they dont, b/c as long as console manufacturers own development studios (and IPs), there will always be console exclusives

As long as companies like Microsoft & Sony give funds to developers for exclusives, they will never end. There is no better thing for a developer than to have some money secured in their pocket, specially for a new IP. Besides, I like the idea of exclusives, they create competition, and competition is good.

I think companies like Bungie & Insomniac decide to change to multiplatform because they get tired of doing the same thing. 4 Halos and 3 Resistances later, they are ready for a change, and they bet on multiplatform to make the money they loose from the exclusivity.

Yeah I like them too, but feel Microsoft is not playing it's part as PS3 gets way more exclusives. I was a bit disappointed that they let go of the Mass Effect licence to be honest. Hey, I own a PS3 but just like the idea that I paid $500 for an Xbox for some privileges.

I could go for some Insomniac platformer awesomeness. At least I hope for it. Not interested in an FPS.

I think after the PSN debacle, any third party would be nuts to tie their game to one platform. :D

I seriously hope they are still using the engine from Resistance and Ratchet and Clank Future, because most 3rd party developers tend to have a UE3 looking engine that looks all the same blurry and normal map mess.

Resistance is not a good series, hopefully this marks the end of it.

Ratchet & Clank has been completely done to death, but the action-platformer style is still great and something the PS3 and 360 are both really lacking, so I'm hoping they come up with something similar to that, but a little more fresh.

But I'm guessing they'll go with something a bit more mature and "gritty" though. Cover based third person shooter with bald space marines anyone?

I never played Resistance but that was because it always looked a little boring or off to me. I was never a fan of Ratchet and Clank either I was always more of a Jak and Daxter guy. I hope they have something cool to show.

The Resistance 2 campaign is really good, online never really pulled me in due to the voice chat issues. Looking forward to a full Resistance 3 co-op campaign to fill the huge void of disappointment that Killzone 3 left.

Patrick +1 for keeping us informed! My random wild guess is a racing game.

that might actually be cool. i want to see developers make something the fans would never expect, make something completely out of their comfort zone.

I fell out with Insomniac after they left Spyro to Vivendi. Ratchet and Clank never stuck with me and the Resistance games aren't very good. Hopefully they have a brighter future with multi platform development.

I only own my XBOX 360. And i wouldn't trade it for a PS3, BUT i do agree with you.
