We are super stoked to announce that Nidhogg is coming to PS Vita, and it will be released simultaneously with the PS4 version! It will be cross-buy, so if you grab one you’ll get both the PS4 and PS Vita versions. How dope is that?!

If you haven’t heard of Nidhogg yet, thats cool. Its been around the PC game world for a while, and at super awesome parties around the world. Its a two player fencing/fighting game where the ultimate goal is to get eaten by a massive pink dragon: the Nidhogg.

PS Vita is a great way to play Nidhogg. You can play in single-player mode against AI opponents, of course, but you can also connect to PSN over wifi and play against all the other players out there, whether they’re on Vita or PS4. The PS4 version works online as well, and you can even play online across systems (Vita vs PS4!!). If you’re out of wifi range and you just want to play someone on the bus you can do that in Vita to Vita ad-hoc mode. If you just have one Vita and two people, you can still play! The left stick controls one player and the right stick controls the other!

Nidhogg, eh? That'll be fun on Vita. Might be hard to play local on that though.
Cross-Buy? That's cool. A little easier to play local on tha-
Online play?

Day fucking one! This game has looked like so much fun when the Giant Bomb guys have been playing it. I never dared to dream that they would add online multi.

There already was online multiplayer in the PC version but if I remember there was horrible lag online.

Just hope that the online community doesn't die out immediately, like it did with Divekick. :( How is the netcode on PC?

Buying for PS4 to stab my girlfriend and be eaten by the nidhogg.
Game grumps is the only reason I know about this and I'm so glad It's coming to consoles.

Didnt we already know this was coming already...

Also no release date or any new info? I'm pretty sure this was announced at E3 though or gamescon though.



Also Get That Dick!

This is one of those games I'm psyched to play but want to hold out for a PS+ release...and then I cave and buy it anyway and then hope it never comes to PS+ so I didn't waste the money.

I really should get this game. Always have kid cousins wanting to play more co-op games (already played with them Rayman, Guacamelee), so this should be a good one.

Told ya!

I knew from the moment I watched the Quick Look that this had to be on Vita. Immediate purchase, no questions asked.

Not the point. This game would EASILY run on the PS3. Besides, I already have a current generation console. Why should I spend money on a second one?

Buy a Vita.

PS3 is a lot harder to develop for than PS4/Vita. Just because the game looks low-fi doesn't mean it isn't a big deal for a small studio. Let them focus on PS4/Vita and let's be happy it's coming out!

Eh, not a big fan of buying a portable device when I do 99% of my gaming at home.

At the end of long workdays I don't have the energy and focus to play PS4 or Steam, all that works for me is to lay in bed with my Vita and relax. It's awesome.

So buy a Vita.
