Electronic Arts finally filled us in on the release date for the upcoming indie game from Klei Entertainment, Shank. It’ll be available for download on the PlayStation Network on August 24, followed by an Xbox Live Arcade release on August 25.
“We committed ourselves completely during the development of Shank and it’s been extremely gratifying to see the support we’ve received from the gaming community and press,” said Klei CEO Jamie Cheng. “Watching people play and seeing them smile; it’s fantastic to see them latch onto the things we love most about Shank — the art, the story and of course the gameplay.”
Besides its very unique art style, we learned back in May that God of War writer Marianne Krawczyk would be writing Shank’s story. In Shank, you’ll play as the titular Shank as he tries to exact his revenge after being betrayed. Local multiplayer co-op will allow you to play through a prequel story that fills in the backstory of Shank.
