Natsume today announced that it
will publish AFRIKA for the PlayStation 3. The company’s first title for PS3, AFRIKA takes players on a photographic safari of Africa and its exotic animals. The
game will be available at retail early fall 2009.
“We are very excited to be releasing AFRIKA in North America, and
thrilled to be working with Sony Computer Entertainment Worldwide
Studios,” said Hiro Maekawa, President and CEO of Natsume. “The team
has put an incredible amount of work into replicating the African
safari experience, and the results are simply breathtaking.”
In AFRIKA, players step into the role of a freelance photographer
exploring a brand new conservation area. They’ll document the wildlife
and photograph incredible sights such as a titanic clash between
hippopotamuses, a pride of lions watching over its playful cubs, and a
cheetah’s lightning-fast chase as it runs down its prey! All of the
game’s animals and environments are rendered in photorealistic detail
with animals that move, behave, and interact with each other just like
their real-world counterparts.
