Anticipation sure is rising for Hydrophobia, but it looks like we'll do a bit more wading before we finally get it in our hands.

Although Blade Interactive managing director Pete Jones has confirmed just a few days back that it's now fully playable, it won't be released till next year.

The company has now revealed that it will be slated to come out on March of 2009. No particular date was set yet, but at least we now have a clearer window for launch. And hey, it's not that far from now, and we do have the assets to tide us over till then. Also,they confirmed that they will be self-publishing the third-person action-adventure as well.

Hydrophobia is being prepped up for a multiplatform release on the Xbox 360, PS3 and PC.
