Sony's Bringing the Tokyo Jungle to You Next Month

The best news of August has arrived.

In a move that was inevitable for a company with any sense of decency, Sony’s announced the, um, eccentric Tokyo Jungle is coming to PlayStation Network on September 25 for just $14.99.

Tokyo Jungle has players fighting up the food-chain in post-apocalyptic Tokyo, a game that’s become a humorous rallying cry from players in search of the strangest of the strange. Well, we're getting it.

The game’s already received downloadable content in Japan, which Sony teased in the comments announcing the game on the PlayStation Blog.

“Stay tuned as we plan to have more information soon,” said assistant producer Dais Kawaguchi.

I’ve already marked my calendar.

Thank god, games like this aren't nearly as common anymore. Reminds me of some of the more balls-out crazy PS1 and 2 games from Japan.

Incredible Crisis Championship Edition DX.

What? I want more of these games. It sucks that you don't have as many of these games anymore trying something completely crazy and different.

Post Apocalyptic world. Check. Animals regain dominance. Check. All we need is Bruce Willis. Anyone else reminded of the film "Twelve Monkeys"?

I wonder if it'll include all DLC...maybe they'll save that for the $25-30 Complete Edition or something.

Yeeeeeeeeees! Thank you for bringing this batshit crazy game over here AND making it a cheap downloadable instead of the full-priced retail release it was in Japan. Seems like someone at Sony has some sense.

Is it just me, or are the animals grooving to the beat? Really smooth cut-away from the dogs boning, too.

Front-page news on Giant Bomb, ladies and gentlemen. Glorious.

Also, this is Grade AAAA++++ quick look material. Like, a 5 hour quick look.

Edit: Holy shit, it's just 15 bucks. Insta-buy.

@Ryuku_Ryosake: Japan's back.

There should be a GB t-shirt with that on the front and a pack of ducks chasing a lion on the back.

Been hoping for this ever since those 8-4 guys talked about it for like 30 minutes. Sounds AMAZING. Pomeranians killing lions and crazy crap like that.

Interesting. Do you know which podcast that was and a rough timestamp since I haven't heard anything about this game before and I'd be interested in hearing a bit more about it?

oh my GOD why can't Japanese game makers ever do anything interesting and innovative? If I see one more god damn annualized Urban Environment Animal Survival game I'm going to choke.

P.S. PRETTY EXCITED FOR THIS!

P.P.S. seriously tho if I could get "iron sites" on my duck for accurate biting mode that would be pretty cool with me

That picture just sold me the game. If I can have a goat with tank treads I'll buy two copies.

Hm, no tank treads, but if you're looking for alternate modes of transportation, rollerskates are entirely possible.

I think it's urban based animal survival genre. It's pretty straight forward.

Yes, you can control multiple chicks at once, you can also give them jet packs. No, really.
