Episode One of Penny Arcade Adventures is set for a worldwide release next Wednesday, May 21, we’ve learned today. On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness (that’s the stupid-long subtitle that Episode One carries) will be releasing through both Xbox Live Arcade and Greenhouse for $20 or 1600 Microsoft Points. Greenhouse is the digital distribution platform that’s being started up by Penny Arcade and the developers of Adventures, Hothead Games. You can read more about it here.
A few weeks ago, Jonathan posted about some new trailers of the game, which you can check out here. The game certainly looks pretty slick, no pun intended, so I’m excited to finally get my hands on it. I’m mainly interested in the humor, but hopefully Hothead will have created a good game to go along with what’s certain to be a funny title.
At 1600 Microsoft Points, Adventures will be the most expensive Arcade game released to date, assuming you don’t count downloadable content. In that case, I believe Lumines Live and all of its add-ons still reign supreme in that regard.
