Somewhere in a dark alley, Nathan Drake and Sackboy must be conspiring against an up-and-coming PlayStation 3 mascot: the mute, robed wanderer from Journey, which is now PlayStation Network's fastest-selling game in Europe and the U.S.
Jenova Chen, Creative Director of Journey developer thatgamecompany, posted the news on the PlayStation blog today. He writes that the reaction to the game, which Wired magazine covers in its April issue, has been "overwhelming." Chen also says that the artsy adventure title has "broken sales records, surpassing all first and third-party games" since debuting on March 13.
Adding to the game's meditative quality is composer Austin Wintory's soundtrack, which Chen says will be available on iTunes and the PlayStation Store on April 10, and which will also see a limited CD release. Wintory also lent his talents to thatgamecompany's flOw in 2006.
