Journey and Flower developer thatgamecompany is looking into bringing its next game to platforms 'just beyond PlayStation'.
"Right now we are very much exploring ways to bring our games to a bigger audience, beyond just PlayStation," he teased.
"We are still in the process of negotiating, but I hope that we can announce it [soon]. But right now it's still in the process," he told Push Square.
As that quote sparked mass speculation on the internet over Journey's exclusivity, the developer followed up on NeoGAF with further clarity on the matter: "flOw, Flower, and Journey are all owned by Sony. We won't be porting them over to iOS, Steam, other consoles, etc. If Sony wants to do any of that, they can," said the dev.
"As for what we'll work on next, we aren't going to announce what will happen until we announce it, so you'll just have to play the waiting game. We are very excited about this new game, just like with flOw, Flower, and Journey."
With some of the most unique PSN games to the developer's name, Xbox and Nintendo platform owners best have their fingers crossed very tightly.
The developer revealed the 14 Trophies in Journey - arguably it's most interesting-looking game to date.

I hope whichever digital service they choose to make games for next doesn't stifle their creativity and ambition.
Flower is one of my favourite PSN games and Journey looks amazing.
As long as going multi-platform doesn't end up with thatgamecompany becoming just another indie developer making crappy 2D side scrollers/zombie twin stick shooters then I'm fine with this.
Just let these guys do what they want to do and us gamers win.

I think you mean 'beyond just Playstation' not 'just beyond Playstation' at the top there CVG.
Anyhow, this is good news - I loved fl0w, never got around to playing fl0wer and Journey looks great but I primarily play on my Xbox 360 for games so hopefully they'll branch out and go multiformat (would be interesting to see them work on the Wii U aswell).

I have the original Flow on the PC, but I wish I could play Flower and Journey. Not system sellers though.
