Settlers of Catan Finally Coming to PlayStation 3

Thursday, June 3rd, 2010

    The PlayStation 3 version of one of the world’s most popular board games is coming to the U.S.

    Gamers will be able to download Settlers of Catan via the PlayStation Network starting June 15, the game’s official site said Wednesday.

    Settlers of Catan is a popular board game created by Klaus Teuber. Since its first publication in 1995, the game has sold 15 million copies. Last year, Wired magazine called it a “perfect” game; we were not exaggerating.

    Catan will cost $6.50 and support two- to four-player online games.

    Xbox 360 owners have enjoyed playing a different version of Catan, developed by Big Huge Games, since 2007.

    The PlayStation version Catan was developed by Game Republic, the Japanese developer responsible for games like Genji and Folklore.

    But don’t hold that against them. The videogame developer has a little known sideline in board game design. A handful of its tabletop offerings, such as Owner’s Choice and Shadow Hunters, have been localized for American gamers by Z-Man Games.

    Gamers in Europe and Japan have had access to the Game Republic version of Catan for more than a year.
