Hothead has announced that Penny Arcade Adventures: On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness, Episode One will hit the PlayStation Network on October 23 in North America with other regions getting it not long afterward.
This version of Episode One will feature background music support, score ranking and of course trophies. It is will retail for $14.99 and to top it off, the Linux Mac, and Windows versions of Episode One that are available on the Greenhouse digital distribution service have been permanently reduced in price and will now cost $14.95.
“We’re so excited to finally be able to get this version into gamers’ hands,” said Vlad Ceraldi CEO of Hothead Games, “that we wanted to extend the same value and opportunity to anyone else who hasn’t had a chance yet to play Episode One. Other platforms and digital distribution services can make their own decision regarding pricing, of course, but we’re recommending under $15 for this and all episodes going forward. Episode Two will be coming to PlayStation Network before Christmas and we are really happy how it turned out.”
It’s about time PS3 users were shown the love since the Xbox 360 version has been around since May 21, and with Episode Two just around the corner, it looks like everyone will finally be able to indulge in the zany adventures of Gabe and Tyco.
