Skullgirls Indiegogo tops $750,000, unlocks fourth DLC character

20130328_skullgirls

The crowdfunding campaign for Lab Zero Games’ Skullgirls has only a few hours to go, but it’s still making rapid progress. By reaching $725,000 fans ensured the team will release yet another DLC character, bringing the total so far to four – not at all bad for an initiative originally planned to produce just one. The new character will be called Robo-Fortune, and since the campaign has now attracted a whopping $766,634, she’ll get her own stage and story mode too. The most recent milestone also means Mane6 will receive a free copy of the Skullgirls engine.

Thanks, Siliconera.

Skullgirls coming to Japanese PSN

20120427skullgirls

Skullgirls is coming to PlayStation 3 in Japan, Famitsu reports. This is good news for fans in the west; developer Lab Zero Games says it has the greenlight on a sequel but publisher Autumn Games is a little tight on cash right now. Some extra sales and a good reception from one of the largest and most skilled populations of 2D fighter fans in the world will certainly give the indie franchise the boost it deserves. Skullgirls has a vocal fanbase, is finally headed to PC, and is even going to EVO this year.
