Korean ratings board suggests monochromatic Summer of Arcade platformer making the jump to Sony’s console.
Last year’s Xbox Live Summer of Arcade standout Limbo might be headed for a new destination, as Game Set Watch has spotted a Korean Game Rating Board listing for Danish developer Playdead’s debut downloadable game on the PlayStation 3.
A 2D platformer, Limbo put 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.
This would not be the first time a Summer of Arcade hit’s PS3 migration has been leaked by a foreign ratings board. The German rating body Unterhaltungssoftware Selbstkontrolle (USK) leaked word of Braid’s PS3 port in August of 2009. The time-manipulating 2D platformer launched on Sony’s downloadable service three months later.
