Risk of Rain Coming to Vita

We've today learned that 2013's PC-based platformer Risk of Rain is set to release on PlayStation Vita.

Ashton Raze, of publisher Chucklefish, let the news slip in a casual tweet.

It was confirmed minutes later by Sony's Business Development Manager Shahid Kamal Ahmad. Ahmad is known for having brought many of indie gaming's best titles to PS3, PS4, and Vita, including big names such as Thomas Was Alone, Hotline Miami, and Lone Survivor.

Neither Raze nor Ahmad revealed a possible release window; we'll let you know as soon as we find out.

Risk of Rain is a platformer with roguelike elements, with a difficulty scale that increases the longer you play and maps that are randomly generated with each new playthrough. Its story follows the sole survivor of a crashed space train.

Risk of Rain originally released on PC in November 2013. It was developed by Hopoo Games, a team comprised of two students from the University of Washington, and funded through a massively successful Kickstarter campaign that saw it raise more than four times its initial $7000 goal.
