While Insomniac Games is gearing up for new versions of its famous Ratchet & Clank and Resistance franchises later this year, \ the developer's biggest splash in this week 's Electronic Entertainment Expo, the unveiling of a project should be the gaming world knows nothing over just yet. The studio has now confirmed that it will be his new Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 game Monday during Electronic Arts 'E3 press conference.

Insomniac 's multi-platform game won' t a new Ratchet & Clank, since Sony owns the property.

Originally revealed as part of the EA Partners program just over a year ago, the partnership was particularly noteworthy as it called for Insomniac to work for the first time on a non-Sony system. Explaining the move, Insomniac CEO Ted Price said the developer wanted to go multiplatform to reach as large an audience as it possibly could. Price also said the move marked a change in direction for the company, which had to that point been producing games on an annual basis. Starting with the EA Partners project, Price said Insomniac would be spending more time iterating and polishing its games.

The move to multiplatform development isn't Insomniac's only ongoing expansion. In March, the studio announced the opening of a new Facebook and mobile games division dubbed Insomniac Click.
