Big Huge Games, a subsidiary of Curt Schillings 38 Studios, looks to be in the process of creating a single player console game set to take place in the Copernicus universe. The team will be using modifying Ken Rolstons [i]Ascendant[/] game into this version for the PS3 according to a piece on Kokatu today. The was initial speculation that Copernicus might be released on PC and console platforms.

Here is an excerpt from that article:


38 Studios has put up job listings for a Senior PS3 Programmer and a Lead Art Director to work on a RPG for the PS3

Update: These listings are for 38's newly acquired subsidiary Big Huge Games. They are working on transforming the Ken Rolston-led rpg — formerly Ascendant — into a single-player console role-playing-game set in the same universe as the Project Copernicus MMO for the PC. In short, the console versions seem to take place in the same universe as the PC version
