Three years on from Darwinia’s release on PC and we are really happy to confirm that Introversion is working with Microsoft to bring both Darwinia, and our next title Multiwinia: Survival of the Flattest, onto the Xbox Live Arcade service.

The move onto consoles marks a really exciting step forwards for Introversion, as Creative Director Chris Delay, so aptly explained today: “When we first started Introversion back in 2001, the idea of developing our games for a console seemed an impossible challenge, and whilst we have built a fantastic community around our PC games, and will continue to support that, it has always been our dream to take the next step and produce a console title.”

“Multiwinia is the natural conclusion of what we started with Darwinia way back in 2002 and with the launch of Live Arcade, Microsoft has presented us with a fantastic opportunity to get onto a rung of the console ladder. We're really looking forward to introducing Darwinia+ to a whole new audience.”

Due for release in early Autumn 2008, both games will be released under one package called Darwinia+. As previously announced, Introversion will also be releasing Multiwinia simultaneously onto PC.
