Black Forest Games' successfully Kickstarted game, Giana Sisters, has received an official release date for PC and will also arrive on the PS3 and Xbox 360 next year. Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams is based on the old-school Commodore 64 title and will offer new-school gamers the chance to experience the Mario-style platformer.
Realistically, the new game is closer to Crystal Dynamics' Pandemonium than it is Mario, but no one really cares about that anyway. The main thing is that the game needs to be fun and needs to be exciting and needs to be fresh and unique, and based on the trailer below it certainly does fit the description.
The game was Kickstarted with $186,000 with an initial goal of $150,000. I assume they received a bit of publisher backing for the console releases considering that they haven't published any games for the Xbox 360 or PS3, and as well know with the Xbox 360 self-publishing is a no-no if you haven't already published a game on the console before or you don't have a three-game publishing contract.
Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams is aimed at releasing on October 23rd for PC followed by a 2013 release for the Xbox 360 and PS3.
You can learn more about the game over at the Official Website.
