Ubisoft has confirmed to VideoGamer.com that upcoming FPS Far Cry 2 will not be a PS3 console exclusive, as previously rumoured.

Internet reports had suggested the Xbox 360 version of the game had been canned when website xbox360wire.co.uk noticed UK retailer GAME had removed it from its listings, leaving only the PS3 and PC versions.

The site also noticed that Amazon UK had removed the PS3 AND the Xbox 360 version, leaving only the PC version. Play.com however, continues to list all three versions.

Ubisoft confirmed to VideoGamer.com today that Far Cry 2 will still be released across all three formats and that the retailers had simply made a mistake.

The spokesperson said: “We announced Far Cry 2 initially for the PS3, Xbox 360 and PC and that’s how it stands.”

Looks like the inevitable Xbox 360 versus PS3 comparison video is still on then. Far Cry 2 is scheduled for release in Ubisoft’s fiscal 2008-2009 (the 12-month period beginning April 2008).
