Limbo hitting PS Vita June 4

Playdead's black-and-white sidescroller Limbo will launch for PlayStation Vita on June 4, company CEO and cofounder Dino Patti said on the PlayStation Blog today.

The game is a collaboration between Playdead and Double Eleven, which co-developed LittleBigPlanet for PlayStation Vita.

According to Patti, the teams have been working hard to adapt the game for PS Vita "without compromising the experience."

Limbo puts players in the shoes of a small child who must find his way through a black-and-white world, filled with puzzles and dangerous, often deadly, obstacles.

The game won critical acclaim upon release, which was followed by a small avalanche of award nominations that yielded multiple Interactive Achievement Awards and a Game Developers Choice Award.
