Hothead Games is currently developing Penny Arcade Adventures: On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness, Episode One for the PS3. The popular RPG adventure game series will debut on the PlayStation Network in late autumn.

Set in a comic book-come-horror 1920’s universe of New Arcadia, the game sees playing lending a hand at the Startling Developments Detective Agency. The PS3 version is said to be priced in line with the Xbox 360 version which is available on Xbox Live Arcade for 1 600 Microsoft Points.

“We keep getting emails asking why our Penny Arcade game is not on PSN,” said Hothead’s CEO, Vlad Ceraldi. “We have always said we wanted to have our games on as many platforms as possible to give choice to gamers.”

“All good things take time and we are very excited to be debuting our first PS3 title and look forward to bringing more games to this platform in the future.”
