It's official, Limbo is heading to PSN, Steam

It's official, Limbo is heading to PSN. The game will be available sometime next month, PlayStation's Twitter account informs: "Playdead founder @DinoPatti confirms that their masterpiece LIMBO is heading to PSN in July."

Update: A Steam release is also on the cards; Patti has confirmed that the PC version is in production alongside the PSN release. We can only imagine it'll want to target the July launch window as well..

Awesome. Loved the short time i played on 360 and heard great things about the game.

[-Superman-]

"Xbox Exclusive" - Again, only time exclusive.

But its very great news again, more people can play it now.

[Blacktric]

Exactly! ZOMG I can't wait for it! Day 1!

[Pixel_Enemy]

I bought my 360 from a friend specifically for limbo and Alan wake because they are the only games I felt I was missing out on as a playstation only gamer. This news stings a bit since I bought a console to play it..

[darthv72]

that has to be the most over used word of this decade. And 90% of it in this very console generation (05-present).

Anyways...this is a great game. freaky but great. I say the more people play the more it will entice the programmers to one-up themselves.

Bring on a limbo 2 or something even more standout-ish.

[thewhoopimen]

@darth72 The only term that's been overused and regularly abused is 'xbox Exclusive'. Microsoft has sabatoged this generation with wordplay by diluting the meaning.

[DigitalRaptor]

.
Agreed. I swear gamers have changed this gen, and no proof is needed that it has stemmed from Microsoft and their influence on Xbox gamers over the years.

[ChrisGTR1]

this games not that good. i played it on 360 , it looks kinda like braid but its nowhere near as good.

[hamburger123]

How long does it take to finish the game ?

[rezzah]

Doesn't matter, the atmosphere in this game is like no other (or at least very few out there).

[Nitrowolf2]

If this is directed at me saying "Short" i didn't mean it like that.

anyway according to some it can take somewhere between 1-4 hours (depending if your trying not to die and such) http://boards.ign.com/xbox_...

[GusBricker]

I think I beat it in like 3-4 hours.

[malamdra]

about 2 hours, but depends how good you're at puzzels

@lelo2play (below) they sure care about it when ME2 when multiplat

[lelo2play]

Why is it when X360 exclusives go multi-platform, X360 fanboys normally don't give a sh*t.... but when PS3 exclusives go multi-platform, PS3 fanboys behave like the world is going to end?

As for Limbo, it's a great game in spite of being short. Everybody should try it.

[GusBricker]

Probably because 360 gamers have already played the game. Whereas, PS3 exclusive usually went multi-platform before they were released and thus....

[Redgehammer]

Because fanboys are idiots, and what they say should never carry any true weight, regardless of platform affiliation.

[Nitrowolf2]

Its like that for both sides

FF13 360, fanboys went crazy
Bioshock for PS3, fanboys went crazy
Insomniac multiplat game, PS3 fanboy went crazy
Mass effect 2 on PS3, 360 fanboy went crazy

[BigPenguin]

I do not get the hate for bioshock2, the gameplay was improved from the first. And say what you will about the story, yah it did not blow any minds, but I sure as hell wanted to find my little sister.

[kreate]

i agree with BigPenguin.

bioshock2 was good. combat and atmosphere was very entertai ing.
the problem i thought was that the game was too short, by the time u become a badass... ur already at the last level minimizing the time and place for u to use those creative powers. and .. the MP just sucked imo.

[XRider]

You have a point 360 fanboys realy don't care about games going multiplatform. PS3 fanboys however go super nuts and start signing petitions. They start hating the game and devs the moment it goes multiplatform. N4G is a perfect example of how different the fanboys are. Best example, go to a Move article and you will find no 360 fanboys anywhere. Go to a Kinect article and it's 95% PS3 fanboys.

[Fez]

@sin151
Correlation does not imply causation...

[Redgehammer]

That is great that those of you that do not own 360's get a chance to play such a surreal and interesting game.

[TBM]

cool news, but are going to get the same article(s) now that limbo is on PS3, PC that this proves exclusives are dead from that 360 site talking about Insominac Games?

i do have to try this game out when i get the chance is it looks very interesting to me.

[theonlylolking]

Limbo is boring and horrible. I do not see what is so fun about Limbo. I would rather play angry birds than limbo.

[Big Frank]

@ thewhoopimen

Seriously dude, get off your computer, go outside and get a life. I havent logged on in 6 motnhs to post, but your post so full of hate and butthurt that I felt compelled to tell you that only a loser would post something like that. Peace, and I wish you all the best.

[Jaces]

Broke down to buy this on LIVE and I'm not regretting it except for the fact that I could have had it on my console of choice...oh well, looks like I'll be buying it again.

These guys deserve the money though, it's such a great game.

[despair]

sweet, this was one game I really missed having an Xbox for.

[opoikl]

Indeed, I've been waiting for this very news post for a year now! So excited, lol

[Alos88]

Oh hell yeah!

[NYC_Gamer]

now more people can enjoy

[SixShotCop]

Great game but very short. Not worth the 1200 MS points.

[JellyJelly]

Great game this! I've played and finished it on the 360 and while it's pretty short it's one of the most atmospheric and memorable games out there. Definitely worth picking up. Gonna replay it right now :)

[Infernostew]

BOOYAH! Really wanted to play this one. Can't wait.

[Sizzon]

Woho! I'm really happy about this since Sony denied Super Meat Boy... uuhh. but oh well now with Limbo coming, sweet! ^^

[TheOtherTheoG]

Good stuff, I've been dying to play this.

[josephayal]

The best xbox live game is coming to ps3, woaa cant wait!!

[JellyJelly]

Personally I hold Shadow Complex and Trials HD higher but Limbo is up there among the best for sure.

[Redgehammer]

It is far from the best, but it is fantastic.

[perfectCarbonara]

360 gamers must be in Hell then.

[OC_MurphysLaw]

I honestly have no problem with it going to other platforms. The more people that buy the game means the dev can make another game.

[Barajas_201]

good

[Braid]

Steam release for PC + Mac = Win for me.

[Clayman]

Bastion and Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet are two very interesting games coming to xbox live this summer. Check them out.

[TheDivine]

Yea bastion, ITSP, crimson alliance and trenched are awesome looking xbla games. XBLA is on a roll. Glad this is coming to ps3 its a great game.

[HeavenlySnipes]

as much as Outland I'm not buying it. It didn't look anywhere as near as good as Outland. Outland is only $10.

[PirateThom]

I played the demo of Outland and quite liked it, didn't buy it but will at some point... it's the perfect impulse buy game.

[AdrianHD]

It'll be $15. Comparing the two isn't going to work, two completely different games. For what it's worth though, Limbo is pretty much on my top 5 games of last year whereas Outland is a lot of fun, but not as memorable.

[YodaCracker]

Braid, Castle Crashers, LIMBO...

You guys must love those hand-me-downs.

[Angrymorgan]

Got this on xbox, great game
