Darwinia creator Introversion announced during this week's Eurogamer Expo that its upcoming Darwinia+ should arrive on Xbox Live Arcade by "the next side of Christmas." The game should be submitted to Microsoft certification in the coming weeks, hopefully ensuring a release early next year. Darwinia devotees will remember that the game began its journey to XBLA all the way back in 2006, and, according to Eurogamer, Introversion isn't exactly happy about it.
The company's Chris Delay noted that Microsoft required several changes to the game, most notably the inclusion of multiplayer. Said Delay, "We were trying to satisfy Microsoft. That's the most awful motivation in the world for making a videogame." Here's hoping the developer's devotion to bringing the game to XBLA has paid off.

I hope this whole thing works out for those guys, they make some really fabulous games. Uplink and Darwinia are two brilliant indie games, Uplink being one of the most original games I've played in years. It kind of took the idea of a text adventure and updated it for modern times.
As for MS requiring multiplayer, it was building the multiplayer version of Darwinia that almost bankrupted the company a few years ago.
