Bionic Commando is slated to hit by next spring, with the developer telling Kotaku that the console versions should be expected in "very early 2009."
Meanwhile, the PC version arrive a bit later because of piracy and extra polish.
"The PC is always a slippery slope because of piracy, stuff like sorting out DRM, making sure we don't have too little or too much," explained GRIN employee Ulf Andersson.
"But also because we want to make sure it doesn't feel like a port, so we can add a little extra polish to the PC version," Andersson added.
Titled simply Bionic Commando, the game is in development for the PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. No release date has yet been announced.

Developed by GRIN, Bionic Commando--not to be confused with Bionic Commando Rearmed, the 2D remake of the original title--will be released on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC.
"The new studio is working on a very, very big Hollywood sci-fi brand," GRIN CEO Bo Andersson told Next-Gen, saying the project would arrive on PC, PS3, and Xbox 360. "It's a real triple-A thing."
GRIN's other project is the reimagining of Capcom's Bionic Commando (PC, PS3, X360), arriving at an unannounced date. Its previous works include the PC versions of Ubisoft's Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter series. The fast-growing GRIN has 190 employees across its four offices in Stockholm, Sweden; Barcelona, Spain; Jakarta, Indonesia; and now Gothenburg, Sweden.

Mercury subscribers can use the HD stream as well.Like the original title, players will use a grappling hook to traverse levels designed for vertical ascent. The new title will be in 3D, of course, and the grappling hook has been updated to feature more practical uses--like dispatching foes and heaving vehicles across the city.
Swedish developer GRIN, responsible for the PC versions of Ubisoft's Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter series, will head up the development of the title. Hopefully, GRIN will as skillfully implement the grappling hook as Capcom did in its third-person shooter Lost Planet: Extreme Condition.
