Massive Entertainment's upcoming alternate Cold War real-time strategy game World in Conflict is planned for eventual release on Xbox 360, publisher Vivendi Games confirmed to Shacknews today. A representative of subsidiary Sierra Entertainment responded briefly to inquiries on the matter, stating simply, "Yes. Announcement coming soon."

World in Conflict had previously only been officially announced for PC, though rumors that the game would head to consoles--made more plausible with its action-tinted gameplay and moderate army sizes--have been making the rounds for several months. The game is expected to ship for PC this fall; no projected release period has yet been given for the Xbox 360 version. Vivendo declined to comment as to the development status of the console game.
