That’s right, the game was one of the spearhead 2006-07 Sony first-party titles that were meant to display realistic PlayStation 3 rendered environments. Trailers were made available on the PlayStation Store worldwide, so most presumed that the title would soon make its way to the West.
However, the title was actually renamed Aquanaut’s Holiday and released in Japan as a Blu-ray only title this September. Yes, September; three months ago. And if you can believe it, the game already supports the English language in the Asian release.
Just like Afrika, Sony Japan don’t think the title will be saleable across the water, even despite the intrigue and interest displayed after early PS3 press conferences. You’d think Sony would support their own in-house developers.
Perhaps it will be left to the National Geographic to release it for PlayStation 3 gamers worldwide.
