There isn't going to be a X360 version if they've chosen a PS3 development engine from Sony.

the game was announced for both though

That doesn't change the fact that they chose the Phyre Engine which is PS3/PC only. If they want to make it cross-platform with the 360 (which would be a good idea, IMO), they would need to pick a diffeent engine, or outsource the port to another studio which may be costly. Given the fact they said they've already chosen an engine, then they are most likely in-contract, and cannot change platforms/engines if there's been a bit of work done, or forefit whatever they've invested so far.

 

Spiders is already porting that Sherlock Holmes vs. Jack the Ripper game to the 360, so they would probably port Mars themselves if they decided to do a port at all.
