Skullgirls Getting Delisted; Skullgirls Encore To Come Out Soon

With Konami and its Co-Publisher, Autumn Games having parted ways, Konami has requested the delisting of Skullgirls from XBL and PSN. The game will disappear for a short time, but will eventually be replaced with Skullgirls Encore.

Last week Lab Zero Games was scrambling to deliver a new version of the game in order to get it approved before those with the power to do so left their offices for holiday breaks. The bad news is, it looks like Lab Zero missed the deadline. The good news is that the wait to re-download Skullgirls is reasonable, and it comes with some new content. If you already own the game, you have nothing to worry about. It will remain playable on your hard drive – even online.

When Encore becomes available, its distribution will be different depending on where you are and on what console you own the game. On Xbox 360, Encore will be a patch to the original game. The PSN version of the game will be entirely new, but it will be available to download for free if you own Skullgirls. Since it is technically a new game, it will have all new Trophies. New character Squigly, along with other DLC packs, will be free on both consoles for a period of time after Encore's release.
