Hey everybody! Now that I’m finally able to answer the two questions everyone’s been asking, the PlayStation.Blog has graciously allowed me to address you again. Without further ado…
Skullgirls will (finally) be released in North America on PSN on April 10th for $14.99, with a European release in the following weeks. While that sinks in, check out the trailer for our eighth playable character, the disturbing Double.
fighting game…
…With endless hours of online, genre-refining gameplay by a tournament champ…
…With an amazing cast of characters, realized with stunning and smooth high-resolution 2D animation…
…For $14.99.
Of course, for any lingering skeptics and fence-sitters, we’ve prepared a great trial version to highlight Skullgirls’ real, honest fighting.
The trial version features:
- Two Characters, Filia and Cerebella
- An abbreviated Arcade Mode, with three AI battles
- Local versus play, limited to duo teams
- Four tutorials
- Practice Room
All in all, the trial should let you get a feel for Skullgirls’ fundamentals, experience the power and gameplay depth of two characters and get a taste of the single player content, all while leaving you wanting more.
You may want to pick the game up soon and start practicing, though, because Autumn Games will be sponsoring a number of tournaments throughout the spring and summer. The winners of each tournament will get a gorgeous, one-of-a-kind FoeHammer custom Skullgirls fight stick like the one below.
Each stick is unique, and you can see more pictures of these amazing sticks on our Flickr page.
So far, we’ve announced four tournaments:
- Texas Showdown Championships : Houston – April 6-8
- PowerUp : Cincinnati – April 13-15
- Stunfest : Rennes, France – April 13-15
- ESC – The Elite Series at Wizard World Toronto Comicon : Toronto – April 14-15
Many more will be added in the coming weeks, so check out our website to see if there will be a tournament near you!
Thanks for reading, and we can’t wait to fight you online next week!
I’m with the wanting it on Vita crowd too. I’d buy it a second time for Vita if that was the case.
I one hundred percent agree with Sevyne….on both points made. People who are complaining about the price are out of their minds. Just shows the have no appreciation for the hard work that goes into these games they play. Sad, really….but on another note, bringing Skullgirls to the Vita would absolutely NOT be sad. Doooooo it, pleaaaaaase!! :D Great job, so psyched to buy and play this! Been waiting for ages, whats three more days?
I also agree because if it be release for the vita that will be awesome on the go and I would buy it day one( hopefully it become retail too because I would not mind buying it at a store) This game is what fighter fan want I mean blazblue will always be nice and capcom to me had been letting me down lately as a fan. Skullgirls will be fighting gamer fan dream and win fighting game of the year, Also I have one question hopefully you do not mind anwser that: Will you release a collection edition artbook with all the skecthes to the fan art? because the artwork and graphics is totally amazing as a fan and I love the art of this game would mind having it in a book. Also I wish the best for the company that Skullgirls get the proper spotlight to represent the company well because it deserve to be treated well with respect and the company put there hard work into this beautiful gem. I cannot wait til tuesday because it going to be a freaking awesome day when I get this gem of a game. SKULLGIRLS will be AWESOME!!!!

Yeah, there will definitely be a EU and ANZ PSN release. It will just be a short time after the US release.
