Penny Arcade Episode 1 coming out next week!

Along with todays announcements of Banjo Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts and Viva Pianta: Trouble in Paradise came the update on Penny Arcade Adventures: On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness. While it went gold back last week it was only for PC - but it looks like it's all right and done now too!

Penny Arcade Adventures: On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness, Episode One on Xbox LIVE Arcade provides a first-of-its-kind RPG-Adventure experience based on the popular Web comic. The creative collaboration between Penny Arcade creators Mike 'Gabe' Krahulik and Jerry 'Tycho' Holkins, legendary game designer Ron Gilbert and producers at Hothead Games results in a 100-percent authentic Penny Arcade experience that pushes bizarre characters, outrageous combat and adult humor to the precipice of darkness. Penny Arcade Adventures: On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness, Episode One will be available on Xbox LIVE Arcade May 21, 2008.

Good to know, it'll also be released for 1600 Microsoft Points - the most expensive XBLA game to date. Plus the sudden announcement seems like it may have pushed another game or two back a bit as well - People are waiting for Braid, Happy Tree Friends, Commando 3 and BC: Rearmed too! Hopefully it'll be the start of another round of fantastic games, starting with Assault Heroes 2 today.

Along with the announcement was a new video, which you can view at the top of this article. Ignore the "B-Roll" quip - it got released anyhow. Wah-Wah.
