As you may remember, Lab Zero Games held a limited sale for a physical release of their flagship fighter, Skullgirls. This version of the game was only available for that short period (so no future copies are likely to be available) but having met their goal with pre-orders, the team was able to afford the licensing costs of bringing the Japanese voices to the game.
Just recently an update to the status of this release was given; we got some shots of the promised full-color manual coming with the game, which we’ve gotten a peek at before. The images here include the control setup page, a page on Squigly, and a game lore page.
In addition to this, we were given promising news about the state of console lobbies. They are confirmed to work on PS3, Vita, and PS4, all allowing crossplay with one-another. Prior to this update it was stated that the PS3’s memory limitations were causing problems getting lobbies to fit, but after some development-magic they seem to be fully functional and ready to go.
While this is all good news so far, it was stated that there was a delay to the shipment of the physical release and the patches to digital versions. The full details can be read on the update page, but essentially due to complications from holidays, Sony’s submission policies regarding “remasters,” paperwork, and the multiple companies involved, the original timeline of a January release can no longer be guaranteed. No ETA on the release was given, but it sounds like the brunt of the work is finished and all that’s left is managing the back end.
