Playdead has announced that Limbo has now sold over one million copies worldwide in 153 countries and nine languages across three platforms. The success of the game has allowed Playdead to buy itself back from early investors, and put the extra funds towards future and current projects in development. “With the success that Limbo has achieved, we felt this was the ideal time to fully regain our independence,” said CEO Dino Patti. “We are grateful to everyone who supported us over the past few years, and look forward to forging new partnerships that will both let us reach new heights as a studio and give our director, Arnt Jensen, room to grow creatively.”

The Mac version of the game is on slate for an end of the year release.

Dino Patti, head of Limbo developer Playdead, has delivered his verdict on the industry’s retail model and stated, “There will be discs for a long time from now, but the world has adopted download. When your mum and dad start to download things, that’s when it’s everybody who does it.”

Previously released on Xbox Live Arcade last summer, developer Playdead had said it was working on a new IP, but insisted that Limbo was an “exclusive for life” on XBLA.
