Hello PlayStation friends! We’re Telltale, and we make awesome episodic adventure games! You may know of our work – Tales of Monkey Island, Strong Bad, and Wallace & Gromit are a few of our recent titles – but we’ve never launched a game on the illustrious PlayStation 3. Until now, that is! Coming in April, Sam & Max: The Devil’s Playhouse hits the PlayStation Store, and we couldn’t be more excited to bring the third season of our landmark episodic series to you, the PlayStation Nation!
If you’re not familiar with the rabbit/dog detective duo, the following description ripped unceremoniously from the press release explains our heroes’ new unhinged adventure:
In Sam & Max: The Devil’s Playhouse, Max has been bestowed with a set of powerful psychic abilities from an unusual ancient source that he’ll wield against the strongest and strangest foes the Freelance Police have ever faced. Join gaming’s greatest dog and rabbit sleuths as they investigate the source of these powers, with manic Max exercising new and amazing abilities with each episode. Max’s shape shifting, teleportation, mind reading and future sight abilities prove particularly useful as intergalactic simians, eldritch gods, under-dwellers and an arcane scholar ruthlessly hunt down those powers for their own evil ends.
For the first time on the PlayStation Store, we’re teaming up with the fine folks at SCEA to offer Sam & Max: The Devil’s Playhouse for pre-order beginning March 18. Customers who pre-purchase the five-episode comedy saga will pay $29.99 (discounted from $34.99) until the game launches on PSN. Not too bad!
We can’t wait for you to experience the first episode, The Penal Zone, next month! In the meantime, go ahead and take a peek inside the Devil’s Playhouse with the trailer below!
so will we be able to buy the episodes individually or will we have to buy all once. The graphics look better than the 360 versions of Seasons 1 & 2. I hope the controls are better, it felt a little stiff & it was hard to get Max to move where you wanted to.
its a little ridiculous that when ever a thread is posted on the day the PSN is updated, most of the comments always people whining about when the store will be updated. shouldn’t people realize that the store will get updated sometime on Thursday, but Sony doesn’t have a set time like MS does with Live.
can you bring season 1 and 2 on psn like you did for xbla please?
I was always interested in this series but like others I’d feel weird jumping in at Season 3. I’m gonna have to pass on this until all three seasons are in the store. Even if it means paying more.
awesome stuff always loved the sam & max games :D
