The Grinder goes multi-platform

Co-op Wii FPS also heading to Xbox 360, PS3 and PC

High Voltage Software, developer of Wii exclusive The Conduit, has revealed that its previously announced cooperative horror FPS, The Grinder, is now a multi-platform title.

"Our secret is out! Grinder is no longer a Wii exclusive. We plan to ship on Xbox 360, Sony PS3, and PC as well," High Voltage CEO Kerry Ganofsky told IGN.

Chief creative officer Eric Nofsinger added: "Bringing our third internal IP to all the current-generation systems allows us to show off what our company can really do and get it into the hands of the most gamers."

The game has been given a new Halloween 2011 release date, a move necessitated by the game's transition to more powerful hardware.

"Halloween is the perfect time for a creepy dark game to release and we want to ensure this game has the love and attention it deserves," said Ganofsky. "With the move to all of the current-generation systems, higher resolution art content needs to be created which takes a bit longer than our previous games."

Further details are promised for GDC next month.
