The once multi-platform (but always PlayStation 3 first) first-person shooter Haze from Free Radical is now making the shift to PS3 only. So was there confusion or a real shift in development? Ubisoft, the game’s publisher, sounded off.
According to GameSpot, this is the current state of Haze:
Ubisoft has told GameSpot that First Radical’s sci-fi first-person shooter Haze is now being planned solely for Sony’s PlayStation 3 platform.
Originally, Haze was slated as a multiplatform release for the PC, Xbox 360, and PS3 in spring, but back in May Ubisoft announced that the PS3 had become the “lead platform” for the title, which would be released in November on the PS3-only, although “no exclusivity for any platform has been officially announced.”
Today, Ubisoft said that currently no other versions are in development, and although it was still leaving the door open in the future for “new partnerships,” currently the game is indeed only planned for the PS3. A spokesperson said, “The official statement on PC and Xbox 360 is that these platforms are not confirmed.”

wow… that’s a bold move. It’s as if to say that the potential revenue from a multi-platform launch is not something that the HAZE team is interested in pursuing.
