Penny Arcade Adventures to Appear on PS3
Posted by Jeff Dill, Jul 24, 2008 12:44

While PC and Xbox 360 gamers have been able to play Penny Arcade Adventures: On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness: Episode 1 since last May, Playstation 3 owners were left out of the loop. This may have been frustrating to PS3 owners eager to join forces with Tycho and Gabe, particularly considering that Playstation Network seems about as well suited to delivering the game as Xbox Live Arcade.

Luckily (and largely unsurprisingly), just as the game eventually found its way to Steam well after its release on Penny Arcade’s proprietary PC download service, Greenhouse, it was only a matter of time until developer Hothead Games set to work porting the game to Sony’s download store in order to serve a larger segment of Penny Arcade’s loyal fanbase. The developer announced yesterday that the game would be available via PSN “late fall 2008” for a price “in line with the game on other platforms,” which currently indicates a price point of about $19.99. That should give you enough time to, you know, hide your fruit. In the meantime, you may want to check out what we had to say about the game as it appeared on PC and Xbox 360.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia - July 23, 2008 - Hothead Games today proudly announced that its well received Penny Arcade Adventures: On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness, Episode One is currently in development for the PLAYSTATION®3 computer entertainment system and will debut on PLAYSTATION®Network late fall 2008.

Penny Arcade Adventures: On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness is an RPG-Adventure game series set in the comic-book-meets-pulp-horror-meets-H.P. Lovecraft deranged 1920s universe of New Arcadia, delivered to gamers via accessible episodic releases. Players join Gabe and Tycho, the crime-solving team of the Startling Developments Detective Agency, to combat savage enemies and solve mysteries hidden deep in the sinister heart of New Arcadia. The game is the result of close collaboration between Hothead Games and Penny Arcade, featuring distinct artwork and characters designed exclusively by Mike "Gabe" Krahulik, story and dialogue by Jerry "Tycho" Holkins, and all brought to life by the Hothead team.

"We keep getting emails asking why our Penny Arcade game is not on PSN," said Hothead’s CEO, Vlad Ceraldi. "We have always said we wanted to have our games on as many platforms as possible to give choice to gamers. All good things take time and we are very excited to be debuting our first PS3 title and look forward to bringing more games to this platform in the future."

The PLAYSTATION®3 system version of Episode One will be priced in line with the game on other platforms.
