Introversion Software have confirmed that Darwinia+ will be hitting Xbox Live Arcade on Wednesday 10th February 2010, costing 1200 MS points.

According to the developer, getting the title ready for launch hasn’t been smooth sailing, citing Microsoft’s quality control guidelines as something of a hurdle:

“It’s been a long battle with Microsoft and their particularly high standards; in the end we are really thankful for their advice and help in completing this long and challenging game project. We have come to
think of Darwinia+ as the Director’s Cut as it has surpassed our expectations of what we were originally looking to create and now looks and feels smoother than ever. As Darwinia+ is our first adventure onto a games console this also marks an extra special celebration for Introversion.”

The original Darwinia is already something of a cult classic on the PC, with its mix of strategy, action, puzzle, hacker, and God games carving out an experience quite unlike anything else out there; this Xbox 360 version is definitely a title that we’re keeping an eye on.

The trailer for the game can be found here.
