Prices and Dates Announced For Summer of Arcade

Hybrid Tony Hawk Wreckateer's your Deadlight with Dust

Written by Ergo Me Smart on 19 June 12 at 17:25

Major Nelson has gone and rather helpfully unveiled both the prices and release dates for this year's Summer of Arcade, which is due to start on July 18th, only a mere 4 weeks away.

July 18th - Tony Hawk's Pro Skater HD - 1200MSP
July 25th - Wreckateer - 800MSP (Kinect required)
August 1st - Deadlight - 1200MSP
August 8th - Hybrid - 1200MSP
August 15th - Dust: An Elysian Tail - 1200MSP

Remember, if you buy any of the three above games, you'll also get 400MSP back.

lord verh - My 1# anticipated game is definitely Dark Souls 2, too bad I'll have to wait at least 8 full months.

Still why can't they just release them at 800 MSP surely more gamers would buy them?

The only game I've heard of out of all of these is Tony Hawk's Pro Skater HD. The others I'll have to do a bit of research on.

Deadlight will be a buy for me. Look very intriguing compared to the others.

... Everybody has to buy Tony Hawks. One of the best games of all time (fact!).

I'll definitely have to get the TH game. I'm looking forward to taking a trip down memory lane. As for the others, I honestly don't know anything about them and don't feel motivated to research them at all. That's probably a sad thing to say but I'd rather save my MSP for stuff I definitely know I want anyway.

Guess I was being too optimistic for 800 MSP all around. Might just wait for a better deal than the 400 point rebate for 3.
