Update: Sony has confirmed on its Facebook fan page that Limbo is indeed coming to PSN. Further more Playdead’s CEO and co-founder Dino Patti has confirmed that Limbo will be available soon on both PSN and Steam. Playdead is working on the ports internally along side a new IP.
I haven’t yet played the superb, dark platformer on Limbo on XBLA, but that might soon change if the Korean Game Ratings Board is to believed. Sony Computer Entertainment Korea has filed a listing for Limbo and one can hope that it’s actually true. This does not mean that Limbo is definitely coming out on Sony’s platform but it’s not without precedent that Summer of Arcade games get release on other platforms after a certain time has passed.
Limbo is one of the more highly regarded puzzle/ platformers available for download to Microsoft’s console. With a truely stricking visual design, and some hard-as-nails gameplay, it was an instant hit, and giving PlayStation 3 owners the opportunity to play the game can only be a good thing.
Stay tuned as we follow up this potential PS3 mega-release.
This would be a day one purchase for me. I loved the look of Limbo, but with no Xbox, it's one of those games that I've really, really wanted to play, but not had the opportunity.

Limbo was a fantastic game and I'd be very happy if this is true. I don't think I will purchase it again, seeing as how I still have it for 360, but I'd highly recommend any PS3 users pick it up whenever they can!

I think Microsoft bought the rights to the game and it's not available to be sold on another platform – Steam included, but I do remember hearing that Steam had become a possibility.
Regardless, the game is absolutely fantastic, and worth buying a 360 for! 🙂

This would be a great release for the PS3. I loved this game when I played it on my 360, and reviewed it here if anyone is interested:

I thought it was fun, and ridiculously atmospheric.

And as an update, IGN just reported this:
CEO Dino Patti said, "Limbo is coming for PSN and Steam… Soon." PlayStation later followed up to say the game is dropping in July with more details coming next week.
Good news for PS3 owners!

This is brilliant news. I can't wait to play this game 😀

It's not a long game, but it is definitely worth the play in my opinion. The atmosphere and art direction are fantastic and the ending has had many people theorizing about the game's story itself.

Seeing as how I don't own a PS3 or 360 I'm very excited to hear about the Steam release. Not sure yet if it will be a release purchase since I have plenty to keep me busy. (and it's growing from the steam summer sale) Though it's very high on the list for 2011.
