It’s an insane time for Escape Plan, as we have a ton of new content launching for everyone this week: The Asylum DLC arrives for just 2 25 cents, Patch 1.02 goes live, five free Avatars are coming for PS Plus members and the Escape Plan Demo will be available for all PS Vita players – all with today’s PS Store publish!
Since launch, our fans have chipped in to provide feedback and thoughts on Escape Plan. All of these little nuggets of advice and tips have helped us to improve and change the overall experience, and so for a limited time, we’re giving back to fans by dropping The Asylum DLC from $4.99 to a just a handful of change — $0.25, to be exact.
The gameplay of The Asylum picks up right where Lil and Laarg left off at the end of Escape Plan. Lil and Laarg travel through a sewer pipe, only to find themselves in Bakuki’s Asylum. This latest conundrum is filled with padded walls, shocking minions, gruesome blades of mass destruction and even more helpless sheep.
The Asylum delivers a ton of crazy content, including the Lil and Laarg Dressing Room where fans can check out the God and Luchadore Super Pack costumes, with the Poindexter and Super Hero costumes unlockable by playing through all of the 18 Asylum levels.
We are also introducing seven new Challenge Modes and four more Trophies!
Everyone will receive patch 1.02, which will give them the first two Dressing Room costumes for Lil and Laarg and a handful of gameplay improvements, but only The Asylum DLC will open up the new levels, trophies and remaining costumes.
After the limited two-week 25-cent promotion, Escape Plan The Asylum will be available in the PSN Store for $4.99 on June 26th, 2012.
For those who have yet to pick up Escape Plan, we are happy to announce the release of the official Escape Plan Demo! This teaser gives fans a taste of 16 puzzling levels from the original game. Be sure to give it a try and, as always, we’d love to get your feedback in the comments below.
More Escape Plan will never be a bad thing.
I will buy the DLC before I will buy the game. Don’t own it yet. waiting on a bigger memory card.
I’m planning on buying Escape Plan on the EU psn because of the upcoming discount. So I’d like to know if there will be a similar £0.02 offer for the DLC in the EU?
Awesome! That is nice that you are supporting the early adopters of your game. I thought about waiting for a sale but a while back I decided to pay full price. I’ve been enjoying the game so far and I appreciate all the enhancements and new levels.
Where do I download the DLC to fix the horrid controls?
That is UN-believable. You guys are showing XTREME concern for your fans. Can’t wait fpr your next Vita game!
Awesome news, awesome dlc, awesome game. Keep up the awesome work guys.
Why are they so damn nice………..wait let me shut up. This is the very first purchase when I got my vita to this day I’m still proud. Thanks guys.
You are turning me into a big fan of Fun Bits.
Gosh!! You guys are breaking my wallet!!! 2 cents for the love!!! Lol Seriously though you bet every Escape Plan owner out there will get this, I mean how can you not for 2 cents. I’m glad you guys decided to add a few more trophies since I already got all the previous ones. Now the only thing you guys need to do is help with PS All-Stars so they can do an Escape Plan level, I mean how can you not with all the possible hazards on them. ;) Keep up the good work guys! Escape Plan rocks!
idk about this, i mean 2 cents seems ah bit to steep on my end. i may look into it though, we should see.
Please do this for your EU fans as well.
Sold! Escape Plan + DLC will be mine this day! Thanks for the great post, Chris!
#5,
The controls are fine. The game is great. In fact, they released a patch before to fix some problems players had, and looks like they’re addressing even more. This is a developer that will get my support.
By the way, awesome costumes! Let’s get those as avatars.
Could you also release in a future update a way to compete with friends on overall time completing the main game and DLC packs? A total time for each could appear in a leaderboard.
Wow 2¢ that’s awesome, I almost feel bad buying it at that price and find myself wondering if I should wait until it’s 4.99 to show them my appreciation… but 2¢ is too good of a deal to pass.
i love Escape Plan and i will be getting the DLC , your next game is an instant buy from me you guys have showed tremendous amount of support to your game and your fans , San Diego Studios take notes please
I would’ve gladly paid full value for more Escape Plan.. This is indeed a nice treat.
This is too generous. Thank you.
That’s good to hear (read), only 2 cents. So that works out as £15 for people in the UK.
Wow! I have exactly 4 cents in my PSN wallet right now. Any way I can buy it twice? lol
love this game, u guys are good hearted fools
could have asked for $1 and i as many others would have buy it, for 2 cents is just unheard of
Make sure to let us know your next game launching, i will buy it day 1!!!!
i love this game, i’m 40 years old so you now I LOVE my platformers….! great job, will buy the DLC asai ts available
still at $0.25 is good hearted fools
love u guys!!!
25 Cents? I can almost buy a matter transporter for that!
Awesome will buy in a sec if the US PS Store is still working in Egypt since i’m traveling. But whats up with the the 1GB update, it will take years since the peoples house i am at here have terrible internet.
i guess in one hour it gonna raise to 1$
then 4.99$… then 9.99$ :P
a demo finally! Now I can try this game and (if I like it) buy it, thank you, a demo is a must for me on digital only games since I’ve regreted buying before
I’m glad there is finally a demo. i have been meaning to try this out since watching videos can only take you so far. personally im still on the fence for this game. it seems nice, but i dont know. seeing the DLC gets me somewhat excited.
Escape Plan is a truly fabulous game. More Escape Plan for $.25 is even better! I might just have to pick this one up. A note to Sony: The Vita needs more games like Escape Plan! Thanks a lot!
Definitely picking this up for 25 cents. And yay for more trophies.
Sold
I see inflation has struck. just a bit ago it was just 2 cents.
That was my bad. But in terms of errors, being off less than a quarter isn’t awful.
