We knew it existed. Now we know where it’s headed.


DrinkBox Studios has a ? following on the PlayStation Network. Its two previous games, the PS3 title Tales From Space: About A Blob and the PS Vita game Tales From Space: Mutant Blobs Attack generated a sufficient amount of buzz to garner additional money from Sony to keep the games coming. The result is the developer’s next project, Guacamelee!.

We’ve known about Guacamelee! for a little while, but we didn’t know which platforms it would end up on. But today, Sony announced that Guacamelee! is set to come exclusively to PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita.

Graham Smith, DrinkBox Studios’ COO, has more to say. “Set in a world inspired by Mexican culture, Guacamelee! features a down-on-his-luck agave farmer named Juan Aguacate, who sets out to save the world when El Presidente’s Daughter is kidnapped by an Evil Charro Skepeton. The story takes place in and around a small village in Mexico, and has the player travelling through “The World of the Living” and “The World of the Dead” on his quest to rescue the girl he loves.”

Smith describes the game as one that supports co-op multiplayer (but can be played on your lonesome) and is a “dimension-swapping Metroid-vania beat-em-up platformer.” The PS3 and Vita versions of the game will have “special features” outlined at a later time.

The release window for Guacamelee! is unknown, though DrinkBox Studios is set to show-off the game next week at E3. Obviously, we’ll be there and will have hands-on impressions.
