Sony used its own PlayStation blog to reveal that it has signed a deal with Rockstar to bring an exclusive new franchise to the PlayStation 3.
The acclaimed developer, famed for its ever popular Grand Theft Auto series, is now working on a new unnamed franchise for the next-gen console.
Sony Computer Entertainment America's Michael Shorrock said: "Everyone knows to have success in this business you need to look ahead, identifying the talent and titles that are going to give consumers new kinds of gaming experiences that help set the bar for the rest of the industry.
“Rockstar has a heritage for doing just that. We have had incredible success with the GTA franchise and are happy to continue to offer those titles on our platforms, and even more excited about what’s to come from the current and future relationship between our companies.
“Rockstar really wanted to make a game that you can truly only do on PS3, harnessing the power of Cell and Blu-ray disc and this deal lets them do just that.”
No specific details about the new franchise were revealed, but Shorrock added that Sony would "share more info as soon as we can".
