UPDATE

Drinbox is on to our dirty tricks: https://vine.co/v/hqJ9W9ZMqI5

Today, IGN can confirm that Guacamelee! is coming to Steam. It will be available on Thursday, August 8th, and will cost $14.99 (£11.99 and €13.99 for our European readers). Oh, and it will come packing a bunch of goodies, too.

In addition to the main game, Guacamelee! Gold Edition comes with two DLC packs – the Costume Pack and The Devil’s Playground – as well as full Steam functionality, including Steam Trading Cards, Achievements, leaderboards, cloud saving, and more

Steam says it'll be titled Guacamelee! Gold, and there will be a bundle with Mutant Blobs Attack. Good bundle

Also, not sure if Drinkbox is serious about Vine.

 

[TheBioLover]

That vine doesn't announce anything, lol.

 

[Sendou]

Cool but expected. Vita will be my platform of choice with this game.

 

[kassatsu]

Can't wait to see all the outrage over memes again!

 

[Dascu]

Woohoo, I was waiting for this one.

 

[Wario64]

Can't wait to see all the outrage over memes again!

It will be worth the weight

 

[Zeth]

Awesome news. Can't wait to play this.

 

[Amir0x]

this game is fucking rad

I have a feeling its an amazing troll...but they did post this. Who knows?

I'm sure the jokes haven't aged a day!

 

[SanguineShark]

...This is one I was waiting for. Hope it's within the next month, would be awesome but doubt it.

 

[test_account]

I love this game

Can't wait to see all the outrage over memes again!

What was the outrage about?

 

[Guevara]

This is a good game and you should play it.

 

[ShockingAlberto]

Hope they manage to add online to this version. It's the main thing that kept me from the PSN version.

 

[Wario64]

First Vine video, it almost seems like they truly didn't know

 

[Nibel]

wat

 

[Zeth]

Hope they make a ton of money on Steam

 

[Sentenza]

What? really? Best gaming news of the day (if it's as good as they say s a Metroidvania).
I was under the assumption it was a Sony exclusive..?

 

[Ridley327]

I think I would probably buy this again; it's that good.

Drinkbox used Sony's Pub Fund to help develop the game, so they themselves own the game, but there had to be a period of exclusivity on Sony systems in return. Generally speaking, it's been about six months for other games that have used Pub Fund to aid development, so I'm guessing that a PC announcement won't be for an immediate release.

 

[Toki767]

Will double dip

Spoiler

when it gets cards

Probably just timed exclusive. I dont think that Sony published Guacamelee.

Pub fund stuff is only ever timed exclusive

 

[Leunam]

Really good single player combat isn't enough?

Oops, they are probably scrambling right now.

Tuco! You need to hang out in the Steam thread more often, we have been checking out that registry app for months!

It is an Indie Pub game, which generally has a 6 months exclusivity window.

 

[hey_it's_that_dog]

Really good single player combat isn't enough?

The game has local co-op. Makes no sense not to have online, too.

 

[I NEED SCISSORS]

I'm hoping it gets a hefty discount on PSN at some point. I'd rather not have to buy it on Steam and Vita when I can just get the cross-buy version.

 

[VanWinkle]

First Vine video, it almost seems like they truly didn't know

The timing was too perfect for it not to be a joke.

 

[RE_Player]

No excuse not to buy this now people! Guacamelee is in my running for GOTY.

 

[GQman2121]

If you haven't already, please buy and play this game. It's wonderful. Easily one of the years best.

 

[ShroudOfFate]

Don't think I'll end up double dipping, but everyone without a PS3/Vita should absolutely get this!

 

[Grief.exe]

The game has local co-op. Makes no sense not to have online, too.

In terms of game development, going from local to online is significantly harder.

It doesn't just work like how you are describing. I've heard it described that you essentially need to account for multiplayer development from the ground up.

 

[Globox_82]

I was under the impression that Sony published this game...

 

[Fireblend]

The timing was too perfect for it not to be a joke.

Yeah, it's too well timed for it to be an unintended mistake. Still funny, well done.

 

[Krakn3Dfx]

Great game, glad to see it getting some love on the PC.

 

[Peff]

I was under the assumption it was a Sony exclusive..?

Good ol' "No *plans* lol". Glad I waited and super hyped.

It will be epic. Epic for the win!

 

[benny_a]

Good. Everyone get this, as it's my second favorite game of the year up to now.

 

[derExperte]

Cards?

Steam cards.

Damn, why did I buy this right after release for the PS3 without starting it once? Don't think I'll ever learn to wait.

 

[markhimself46]

Vine thing was definitely a joke. Absolutely hilarious. Such a great developer. Anyone who hasn't played this game yet should. Incredibly fun!

 

[Ridley327]

I was under the impression that Sony published this game...

Self-published by Drinkbox, but Sony pimped it hard every chance they could, including a Vita retail kiosk demo for the game that was on there months before the game even came out.

 

[TheBioLover]

Surely you mean triple dip?

 

[ArtHands]

I will ask shahid if it is still best on the vita, before i make my purchase decision.

 

[benny_a]

Does your PC have a comparable D-pad?

 

[TheBioLover]

I will ask shahid if it is still best on the vita, before i make my purchase decision.

Well, it's portable, so it's definitely the best version.

 

[joe2187]

This is the only time I encourage people to double dip into the Guacamelee...

 

[Mokubba]

PC Gamers don't disappoint.

Buy this game.

 

[Alienous]

Wait, are we being sarcastic about it being a joke? I hope so.

 

[Toki767]

Can't exactly triple dip when it was Cross Buy.
