European developer Bloober Team has announced that it has been tapped by Sony Computer Entertainment Europe to be among the studios that will be developing launch titles for Sony's Next Generation Portable.

"Obviously, it's quite a tremendous honor to be included in the initial, day-one launch titles for such an impressive piece of new hardware as the NGP," said Piotr Babieno, the studio's president. "SCEE has been extremely interested in our title since we first showed it off, and have been more than accommodating getting us everything we need to make a great game. The NGP is a truly revolutionary piece of tech and being one of the first to develop on it has been both a tremendous joy and privilege."

Exactly what game Bloober Team is developing remains to be revealed, but it seems the studio's members are quickly becoming more than familiar with how the NGP's SDK works.

"After spending some time with the NGP SDK and trying a few tricks and shortcuts, we're honestly floored at what they were able to cram in there," Babieno added. "SCE is really taking a developer-centric approach this time around to give us and the other choice developers ideal conditions for both software and business development. We're thrilled that our title will be included in the launch of what is sure to be a successful platform."

The NGP, the successor to Sony's PlayStation Portable handheld, has yet to be given an official release date. Rumors suggest, however, that it will be out in the U.S. this year.
