The gorilla fate is yearning!
IloveSkullgirls. It’s probably the most fun I’ve had with a fighting game sinceSoul Calibur 2, and I fuckin’ love fighting games. NowLab Zero and Autumn Games have announced some pretty major updatesto the game and boy am I excited.
DubbedSkullgirls 2ndEncore, the game will be released on PlayStation 4 and PS Vita in the summer. Some of the major updates include a story mode featuring full voice acting, a challenge mode, a trials mode to learn more combos, and a survival mode. A lot of these are fighting game staples whichSkullgirlshas unfortunately lacked up to now, so it’ll be great to see them added.
Additionally, the PS4 version will be able to support peripherals such as arcade sticks that were made for the PlayStation 3. Those things are freaking expensive, so yay! No crippling debt just to nail a combo! Crossplay will also be available across all of the PlayStation copies of the game, including the PlayStation 3 version which isn’t currently confirmed to be receiving2ndEncorecontent.
We’re looking into releasing the#Skullgirls2nd Encore new features as DLC for the Steam release. Will let you know when we know more!

The downside is there’s currently no confirmation2ndEncorewill be coming to non-PlayStation platforms, however a tweet on the officialSkullgirlsaccount says they are looking to bring it to PC via DLC for the original game. They haven’t even mentioned Xbox 360 or Xbox One yet, so don’t get your hopes up.
Hopefully they’ll also be able to add more characters like Beowulf for me to fawn over, but hey a challenge mode is good too. Gotta keep them fingers dexterous.
