Free Realms associate art producer Sebastian Strzalkowski has confirmed that the PlayStation 3 version of the family-orientated MMO from Sony Online Entertainment will be released in Q3 2009.

The PC version is due in April, though SOE aims to make up for the delay by offering exclusive content for the PS3 release. Furthermore, the game will be available to download free for Sony’s black box straight from PlayStation Network.

Free Realms boasts a dedicated work force of over 100 individuals working on the project SOE’s San Diego headquarters, and is primarily targeted at the causal gaming market and children aged between 10 – 14.

    Looks kiddy. But I've heard it's free online (which is usually not the case) but extra content costs money. It's an MMO game.

     its too bad this is for kids, It'd be great to get an actual MMO on PS3, especially a free one.

    @3 lol.  Yeah, I'm glad Sony is reaching out to different kinds of markets, but I'm gonna pass on this.

    I think most of the people on this forum will likely pass on it... unless they're child predetors.

     Pretty sweet how it's free. Finally a good title for the kiddies, seeing as how nearly every other PS3 game is rated M nowadays. =P

    Look man,its free,its an MMO,its free. Now I know there saying its for kids (10-14) but how many minors got ps3's? It all comes down to adult gamers overuning the dam game as we do every other game,etc. In short que se vayan los kids para el carajo!!
