Limbo 2 to be Called Limbo 2, Consists of Only One Dark Screen

Limbo creators PlayDead announced today that their next game would not be a new IP, as they had previously announced. Instead, they announced Limbo 2, the sequel to everyone's (Yes, we mean you as well. What, you didn't like it? What a dick.) favorite indie game since Braid or whatever the kids were talking about before Limbo came out. PlayDead CEO Dino Patti explained their decision in a press release I forgot to check earlier today.

"We started working on something fans would really get behind, but the more we worked on something new the more we realized the only thing fans would get behind no matter what was more Limbo.

Gamer jumps off bridge, dies for points

Belding, Michigan -- Avid video game enthusiast Chip Dibson made the ultimate sacrifice for his hobby this weekend. The twenty two year old McDonalds employee was found washed up down river after having thrown himself off of the local bridge. While police were investigating ways to blame a form of popular media on the death, they noticed that the iPhone clutched in his dead hands was opened to the game "Epic Win."

"He plays that game constantly, and I always joked that he would do anything on his list despite the consequences just to get all of the possible points. So I snuck into his room when he was sleeping and added "Jump off of bridge" to his list. When he woke up, he yelled at me about it and said he had to do it now so he could complete his list. I didn't think he was serious." said Gus in the police report.
