Subatomic bringing iPhone tower defense game Fieldrunners to PSP

In an exclusive report on Sony's renewed and rejuvenated initiative to bring smaller (read: indie) offerings to the PSP and its on-device PlayStation Network Store (which I noted earlier as probably the most important aspect of their PSP Go! announcement, especially combined with its subsequent drastic devkit price drop), the company has told Develop that it's already signed some 50 studios for new content, both games and apps.

Chief among them, or at least, the most recognizable game/studio? Subatomic, who Develop have revealed will be bringing a new exclusive version of their iPhone tower-defense hit FieldRunners to the PSP.

Subatomic's Ash Monif told Develop that Sony's plans were "about bringing the lighter, lower barrier content to the PSP that has been so successful in other categories... You don't see this happening at Microsoft and you even don't see it happening at Nintendo yet."
