XBLA: Spelunky Coming To XBLA

The developers behind Indie darling Spelunky have revealed with their new website that the game will be coming to the Xbox Live Arcade.

The game will not be a direct port however, it will contain new graphics and audio alongside other new features. Whether it will keep its very low resolution style is currently unknown.

Spelunky is a 2D sidescrolling platformer taking place inside caverns with procedurally created levels. It's known for being quite difficult, so it'll be interesting to see if they change the game to be a little easier, or have check points.

Check out this video of the PC version. It's great to finally see developer Derek Yu make it to console distribution after games like I'm O.K. and Aquaria staying in the world of PC games.
