EA has announced MicroBot for the PlayStation Network and the Xbox Live Arcade. The game is in development at Naked Sky Entertainment, the team responsible for Star Trek DAC and due out in winter 2011. In MicroBot, players control a microscopic ship on a mission to destroy a biotechnological infestation. Apparently it has drop-in/drop-out co-op multiplayer too.

“MicroHexon Research has invented a transformative medical technology: autonomous nanotech machines that are no larger than a blood cell,” says an EA press release. “When injected into the body they target and eliminate diseases at the cellular level. However, something has gone dangerously awry. The nanomachines have bonded to the diseased cells and are now multiplying inside the body at an exponential rate. Piloting a new prototype MicroBot, players must seek and destroy the infection before it consumes the human host from the inside.”
