Crypt of the Necrodancer Heading to PS4, Vita

By Anthony LaBella

Crypt of the Necrodancer is a prime example of Steam Early Access done right, and now it's heading to PlayStation 4 and Vita according to a new PlayStation Blog post.

The unique rhythm/roguelike hybrid includes the same catchy soundtrack on the PS4 and Vita versions, but it also has an important addition. Shovel Knight composer Jake Kaufman will compose his own chiptune remix of the soundtrack, which players can use during the game.

No other details were given, so fans will have to patiently wait for a release date announcement. My guess would be that it comes out at the end of the year on Sony platforms, but I'd love to be wrong if it happens to get an earlier release date.

Editor-in-chief Nick Tan and I are both big fans of Crypt of the Necrodancer. I played it for an episode of Challenge Accepted earlier this year, while Nick did the same for GR Live. I'm going to guess he's better at the game than I am.
