Natsume announced today that it will publish Afrika for the PlayStation 3 in North America. This marks the the company's first title for the PS3. The photography sim was shown off at a Sony press briefing a few years back and has been stuck in publisher limbo ever since.

From the press release:

In "AFRIKA", players step into the role of a freelance photographer exploring a brand new conservation area. They'll document the wildlife and photograph incredible sights such as a titanic clash between hippopotamuses, a pride of lions watching over its playful cubs, and a cheetah's lightning-fast chase as it runs down its prey! All of the game's animals and environments are rendered in photorealistic detail with animals that move, behave, and interact with each other just like their real-world counterparts.

You can expect to see Afrika on shelves this fall.
