Rumor: Limbo Coming To Wii U, PEGI Rating Revealed

A new PEGI rating has revealed that Limbo is coming shortly to the Wii U.

The PEGI rating of 16 shows Double Eleven as developer, and that the European release would be multilingual. PlayDead was the original developer on the game, but Double Eleven made the ports for Vita, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.

Limbo was originally released on Xbox Live Arcade on Xbox Live Arcade, and if this listing proves true, this will be the fifth consecutive year that the game has been released on a new platform. Aside from Xbox 360 Limbo has already been released on Windows, PlayStation 3, OS X, Linux, SteamOS, Xbox One, PlayStation 4, iOS, Android, and OnLive.

Limbo is an atmospheric puzzle platformer, casting you in the role of an unnamed boy undergoing a perilous journey to find his sister. Gameplay involves solving environment and physics based puzzles. It encourages players find the solution with respawns, but with a grisly twist. Every time you fail, the boy dies in increasingly suggestive and macabre ways. The puzzles themselves are infamously difficult, but clues surround each puzzle to make them easier.

In spite of its age, Limbo is one of the most successful and critically acclaimed indies in recent memory, and a fine addition to the Wii U library. It’s also likely to do well being a platformer, as a genre favored by Nintendo fans.
