Video game publisher Sony Computer Entertainment and developer Giant Sparrow have announced that they are collaborating to launch The Unfinished Swan and will then also work together on two other video games, with the developer now part of the Sony Santa Monica team.

Ian Dallas, who is the creative director and one of the founders of Giant Sparrow, told VG247 that, “I had shown the game off at a festival in Tokyo called the Sense of Wondernight. And I think what I’d heard was that Sony seen that video online and then shortly after called me up and said, ‘hey do you want to come over for coffee?’ They’re like ten miles away from where I was going to school.”

The Unfinished Swan was first revealed in 2008 and players will be able to control a young boy who can use black paint in order to reveal an all-white world he is exploring.

It seems that the deal with Giant Sparrow is similar to that offered to thatgamecompany for Flow, Flower and Journey.
