Braid's PC Release Window Officially Announced; Mac and PS3 Versions Still Possible

Braid's PC Release Window Officially Announced; Mac and PS3 Versions Still Possible

None

On the official Braid Website it was announced that Braid for PC will finally get its release in February/March of 2009.

Shortly thereafter, Macs will also get the Braid treatment should current programming talks go well. As for Sony PS3, there are no concrete plans as of yet. However, there is a distinct possibility that the acclaimed platformer will find its way to the system eventually.

Below you’ll find the official statement:

A lot of people are writing in asking about the release date for the Braid PC version.

I had originally announced the release date for the end of 2008, but for various reasons, this hasn’t happened. Once we slipped into mid-October and all the big Christmas-season blockbusters started coming out, it just seemed like a bad idea to schedule Braid for that time period, as it seems likely it’d get released and then disappear.

At this time, we’re looking at a window of February-March 2009 for the PC release. I know this isn’t good news for those of you who have been waiting a long time for the game, but there sure are lots of games out there for you to play in the meantime.

I am also in talks with someone to do a Mac version (native code). The release date for this would be hopefully not long after the PC version.

There are no plans for other platforms in the near future, though as I’ve mentioned before, a PS3 version a little later on remains a possibility (though again, this depends on whether Sony is interested in the game).

Thanks, and have a good New Year.
