Limbo on PS Vita supports cross-buy

Limbo for the PlayStation Vita supports Sony's cross-buy system, developer Playdead announced today. The game is available now in the United States on PlayStation Network for $15.

Limbo launches tomorrow in Europe on PSN for €12.99/£9.99.

Through the cross-buy promotion, gamers who purchase the PS Vita version will also receive the PlayStation 3 version at no extra cost. Limbo originally came to PS3 in 2011.

The game is a collaboration between Playdead and Double Eleven, which co-developed Little Big Planet for the PS Vita.

According to Playdead CEO Dino Patti, the teams have been working hard to adapt the game for the 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.
