Journey is set to hit the PlayStation Network in Europe on March 14. As thatgamecompany prepares to release their latest title on an eager populous, company co-founder Jenova Chen has been talking about life beyond their current exclusivity deal with Sony.

In an interview with Push Square, a specialist PlayStation website, Chen revealed that the company has plans to explore other platforms in the future.

In the interview, when asked about the future, Chen explained: "Thatgamecompany had a three game contract with Sony, so the past three games had to be Sony exclusive. Right now we are very much exploring ways to bring our games to a bigger audience, beyond just PlayStation. We are still in the process of negotiating, but I hope that we can announce it [soon]. But right now it's still in the process."

Later, the company's community manager took to the Neogaf forums (a post spotted by Gamasutra) and elaborated further: "flOw, Flower, and Journey are all owned by Sony. We won't be porting them over to iOS, Steam, other consoles, etc. If Sony wants to do any of that, they can. As for what we'll work on next, we aren't going to announce what will happen until we announce it, so you'll just have to play the waiting game. We are very excited about this new game, just like with flOw, Flower, and Journey."
