Seems like it’s full steam ahead again on PlayStation Network now all that pesky hacking business has passed into history, as Sony are putting up a hefty sum of money to help develop and promote exclusive titles for their online marketplace.
Their investment of $20 million will be pumped both into their own first party titles and third party games supported by the Pub Fund the company first announced at GDC 2009.
On the US PlayStation Blog, Sony also revealed some of the first games to benefit from this new three year strategy will include Eufloria, Okabu (pictured above) and Papa & Yo, an experimental title that garnered some impressive buzz at E3 2011 for the way it sensitively handled issues of domestic violence and addiction.
