It certainly gels with his blog which mentioned that he was going to be working a few more tie-in novels - but he didn't give any details. Do we know who
the publisher is?

it's Del Rey.
They seem to be gathering up a bunch of game franchises for tie ins. (Gears of War, Metal Gear Solid, Elder Scrolls...)

I am sure I read somewhere what this novel actually was. Not on Stover's blog or anything like that, but somewhere I randomly came across it...
Has anyone just done a random search? |

I checked a few places, but could find neither hyde nor hair of it.

Total shot in the dark, but we could start with PS3 exclusive games in early 2010 that have either a SciFi or Fantasy theme.
I'll also see what I can dig up myself.

Book about a PS3 exclusive = I will never read this novel.
Also, I've narrowed what it could possibly be to the following games (though bare in mind that it says Untitled PS3 game, which might make this rather moot): God of War III Heavy Rain The Last Guardian (This might not even drop until Fall 2010)

I've read novels for games I'll never play. Heck, I plan to read Greg Keyes upcoming game tie-in novel, and I'll never play the game that's
based on.
Ok, based on those games, and past experience (in that they usually only do books for games that have already proven to have been a hit and therefore have an audience) - I'd guess that God of War is 'most likely' - again, among those choices. And it strikes me as the kind of story Stover might be good for.

It does sound like his cup of tea.
Although, what kind of game book this will be is a whole other question. I've seen straight up adaptations of games, and also original stories set in the game universe.

What about the Deus Ex prequel or L.A. Noir? Is Uncharted popular enough to warrant it's own EU or Assassin's Creed?

I agree with the consensus that God of War III seems the best bet, but unless it's Star Wars, I can't read novels for games I'll never play. Shoot, I've had enough trouble finding the time to get the Mass Effect and Halo novels, and I love those games! |

Untitled G PS3 Game Novel 1 Written by Matthew Stover so it's an epic fantasy game.

Going back to Stover's Star Wars roots with Traitor could this be his take on the Dante's Inferno game?

Dante's Inferno isn't PS3-exclusive.
My bet is on God of War III now, because epic fantasy fits that description perfectly. Also, a resounding "meh" from me. |

Sony sent out a survey to random PS3 users asking what options they think would make a perfect GoW III Collectors Edition. Included in the options to vote on
were a comic book and a graphic novel. Here's the link.

I'd put good money on it being a God of War tie in novel - it's a rare combination of being a fantasy connected to an existing mythology (meaning lots
of material to mine) coupled with being one of the big Sony hits in recent years. Based on other videogame properties that have had novel tie-ins, this is
certainly a really good guess.

NICE job on the part of the Scoobies.
I'll have to keep this book on my radar, maybe review it for my column.

Hmm, sounds like an adaption:
In the novel GOD OF WAR, Kratos, the game's protagonist, is a great warrior who seeks revenge on the God of War Ares for the deaths of his wife and child. Even though I haven't played any of the games, this sounds damn good. Besides, any novel by Stover is a first day purchase for me.
