Plenty of games going (multi-)multi-platform these days... Aside from the rumoured Metal Gear Solid 4 on Xbox 360, Tomb Raider: Anniversary on Xbox 360 and Assassin's Creed on DS, we saw SoulCalibur IV being confirmed for the Xbox 360, Tunguska for the Wii and DS, Sega Rally (Revo) for the PSP; and now, Vivendi is taking a queue from EA's console strategies (LotR: BfME II, C&C 3) by announcing that World in Conflict is also coming to the Xbox 360. Somehow I doubt that that's what the game's slogan "War is coming home" means...

The story was confirmed by Eurogamer with a Vivendi spokesperson this week, who was rather short on details unfortunately:

"We can confirm we will be publishing World in Conflict for [Xbox] 360, and we will announce details soon."

This one question answered, however, raises plenty more: will it be a direct port of the PC version, but with a different control system? Will it come out this autumn, like the PC version? Is it also being developed by Massive Entertainment? And we're just getting started with these.

We suspect that a more detailed announcement will be issued very soon, but until then there's not much else to say about World in Conflict for the Xbox 360. The PC version, on the other hand, has recently received another gameplay trailer, accompanied by the famous song from the '80s, "Everybody Wants To Rule The World" (ed. - from the comfort of their armchair, if at all possible).
