Independent game development studio PLAYDEAD announced today that their black and white puzzle-platforming adventure, LIMBO, will be available worldwide on consoles this year, with a summer launch exclusively on Xbox LIVE Arcade.

Nominated for awards in both Art and Technical Excellence in the 12th Annual Independent Games Festival, LIMBO puts players in the role of a young boy travelling through a hostile world in an attempt to discover the fate of his sister.

A short preview of LIMBO will be playable at the IGF pavilion during the 2010 Game Developers Conference, taking place in San Francisco from March 11-13. For more information about LIMBO, visit the official website at http://www.limbogame.org/.
