Atlus bringing Zeno Clash to XBLA News

Xbox 360 News by Robert Purchese

1 October, 2009

Chilean studio ACE Team has struck a deal with publisher Atlus to bring weird and wonderful PC game Zeno Clash to Xbox Live Arcade.

It's coming out next March and will go by the name Zeno Clash: Ultimate Edition. Like Trials HD, another recent PC-to-XBLA port, a number of extras are packed in to ensure this is the "definitive" version.

There will be new modes like co-op Tower Challenges, and additional features and content in other areas, plus a host of nips and tucks made to the original Zeno Clash formula.

Zeno Clash, a first-person brawler, was released on PC in April and won plaudits for a wacky world of Father-Mothers and Gaudi-esque architecture. Its independent roots meant that rough edges countered the smooth, but the game still took 8/10 from Eurogamer for a wonderfully imaginative adventure.

We sat down with Carlos Bordeu - one of three founding brothers of ACE TEam - following release to chat about a console version and the what the path ahead holds for the small studio. Check out our full interview for all he had to say.

Hahah not at all, I really wanted to get it but I very rarely game on my PC. This was something I was very interested in purchasing but simply never got around to it for whatever reason (Hello pile of shame, I am looking at you).

Awesome! I had a feeling this was going to slip into the 'canned' pile but am very glad it's going ahead.

Not 100% sure on XBLA being the best method of delivery though - this is probably pushing the limits of what Arcade should support.

What limits? There are no limits for creativity.

So, these extras aren't coming to the PC? How disappointing.

After reading the PC review just now and looking at the screenshots this is probably a must buy for me.

@miiiguel

I don't mean any hard limits as such - just that it seems like it could easily be a boxed retail release.

I reallly like the sound of this. Totally missed this when released on PC. Liked first person combat since I sampled it in Dark Athena.

Thank you Atlus. You are a breath of fresh air in an increasingly mundane industry although getting me addicted to chin megami tensei could be seen as a bad thing.
