The Playstation Vita is still going strong on the indie scene with a new game or two from an independent developer releasing every Tuesday on the Playstation Network. It was already confirmed by Sony that a Vita port for the Playdead platformer Limbo was coming in the near future, but it was only confirmed today that it will be releasing on the Vita’s Playstation Network this Tuesday, June 4th.

It was also confirmed that the game will be selling for $14.99, the same price it sold for on XBLA, PSN (PS3 only), and Steam previously. Since then there have been price drops, but the starting price has always been $14.99. The Vita port for Limbo was handled by Playdead, the independent game developing studio responsible for the original LIMBO, as well as Double Eleven, one of the game studios that developed LittleBigPlanet Vita. Limbo will be celebrating it’s 3rd anniversary since it’s XBLA release on July 21st.
