Our blogs, tweets and “Rocketbirds: Revolution!” updates have been non-existent lately, but I really wanted to try and combine a lot of info into one, compact and non-spammy post that may be fit to post. What a ride it has been getting our game through to launch for Playstation 3 and the phenomemal support we’ve been getting from everyone – This trip has been surreal!
But first, here’s the game’s new launch trailer which has racked up over 200k views since it was posted yesterday!
With the exception of Japan (soon) and Brazil, from today our game is available almost everywhere you have PSN – we’ve translated it from English into 10 different languages (French, German, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Dutch, Korean, Japanese, Traditional Chinese and Simplified Chinese) and gotten it age rated for the different countries/regions that needed them, where we’ve received the entire spectrum of ratings starting with: Korea 18+, ESRB (USA / CAN) 17+, USK (Germany) 16+, CERO (Japan) 15+, ACB (Aus / NZ) 12-15 and PEGI (Rest of Europe) 12+. Hmmm… Say what?
