Wii U is an option for thatgamecompany

Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U, Wii U eShop | 1 Comment

thatgamecompany made three titles in partnership with Sony. The studio’s contract ended following the release of Journey, so its future games are free to land on any platform.

Nothing has been announced, but there is now a possibility of thatgamecompany’s games heading to the Wii U due to its new-found independence.

thatgamecompany said the following when asked if the studio has any plans to release games on the Wii U eShop:

@Lukasmeza We don't have any announced plans, but it is an option for us. 🙂
