Update: Rather than write a whole other story, figured I'd just update this one. Sony's PlayStation Facebook page has confirmed that a PSN port of Limbo will be coming this July, and Playdead co-founder Dino Patti confirmed elsewhere that the team is also working on a PC version to be released on Steam. Both ports are being worked on by the Playdead team internally.

Here's to more people being able to experience horrifying child death (and really excellent gameplay)!

Into a Limbo large and broad, PlayStation 3 owners may soon be headed.

Once deemed an Xbox Live Arcade exclusive by the developers themselves, Danish studio Playdead's award-winning puzzle-platformer Limbo appears to be set for a release on additional platforms in the foreseeable future, with the Korean ratings board having just rated a PSN version of the title.

This would seem to back up some earlier rumors that the game may no longer be an Xbox 360 exclusive by various NeoGAF users, who dug up a hidden trailer for the game on Steam. While no word of a PC version has leaked out since this trailer popped up, the addition of today's PSN rating seems to suggest that the exclusivity for the title has come to an end.

Playdead has also reportedly been working on a new title following the success of Limbo's original release. The studio has yet to officially announce what the game is, but previously stated that it was an all-new IP that fans of Limbo would nonetheless feel right at home with it.

Limbo garnered a five-star rating from our own Brad Shoemaker, and made a number of our personal top 10 lists last year (including the very tippy top of mine). Any opportunity that exists to get more people to play this hauntingly beautiful, darkly clever little game can't be viewed as anything but a good thing.

Where is ma PC version? Racists!

also this

Cool. I look forward to checking it out. There's really no reason for downloadable games to be exclusive anymore.

Well, besides marketing money for these indie games.

always good to see indie games like this expand out a bit.

Lame. I already watched the ending on Youtube after Brad talked about it, thinking I'd never get to play it.

Very cool. I'll have to play it.

Cool! It's nice to see this game branch out.

Cool im rather excited since i dont own a 360, happy days.

Awesome. More people get to experience Limbo and Playdead makes more money, everyone wins.

Limbo vs Journey, who will win!?

Thank god, this game looks great.

Finally! I thought this day would never come

I can recommend this for anybody on PSN, the game is great but short

I feel like I've already had it ruined for me by other people talking about it, but if it comes out I'll give it a go.

I wish it would be ported to the PC as well....

Awesome!

I'll wait one more year for the PC port. if it isn't out in one year, i'll buy it from the PS store

I'm still interested and if I've ever been spoiled about this game I've forgotten all about it.

Well its a race for this game to PS3 or PC. Which ever it comes to first is the one I buy it on.

I will play this

I've played it already but I really hope it comes to PSN/PC soon so the rest of the gaming world can join us lucky ones :D

Yes!

Yes! Sold!

So hopefully a year from now we'll see an article "Get Trenched on PSN"

Does Limbo have any replay value, aside from Achievements/Trophies?

Fuck I'll take it, but I also want TMNT

I'll wait for the PC port.

Great news, hope it turns out to be true.

Good god yes. I'm as excited as when I found out I could play Super Meat Boy on my laptop with my Ps3 controller.

Also, I'm somewhat disappointed to see no "Take my money now" Fry pics. You have failed me Giantbomb community.

I'd buy it.

Good! I won't have to buy a 360 just to play this game.

"Limbo garnered a five-star rating from our own Brad Shoemaker, and made a number of our personal top 10 lists last year (including the very tippy top of mine)."

Also, Jeff had some opinions about it.

I think I'm about to buy Limbo twice...

Awesome, I've wanted to play this ever since it came out, but don't have a 360. Will buy this day 1 on PSN!

Hm, I'd prefer it to come out of PC, which it just might apparently.

Hey, it's not that good.  I bought it on Brad's recommendation and comparisons to Braid, but Braid it is not!

Hmmmmm... chances that Limbo comes to Steam?

Come ooooonnn Steam.

At a new, low price?

You're right! It's better!
