Indie Game Axiom Verge Has Been Announced for the Wii U and Xbox One

We were told that Axiom Verge was unlikely to come to the Wii U. So today’s announcement that the game is coming to the Wii U was a huge surprise. Not only that, but the game is coming to the Xbox One too!

Axiom Verge is a game I’m not too familiar with. All I really know about the game is that its Metroid-like and that a lot of people seem to like it. I’m a Wii U and 3DS owner and I don’t own any of the other systems! I had heard about the game and I had heard that the game wouldn’t be coming to the Wii U. Things change though and the publisher has found a way to bring the game to the system! Axiom Verge has also been announced for the Xbox One.

I’ve heard people say good things about Axiom Verge, so I’m interested in checking the game out. There is currently no release date for the game for Wii U or Xbox One.

Here’s what the publisher says on Axiom Verge’s website:

” Also coming are Wii U and XBox One ports!  Sickhead games is again doing the XBox One port, while BlitWorks is handling the Wii U sku.  We don’t know exactly when they’ll release yet but it’ll be this year, and definitely after the Vita release.  We plan to have playable demos for both at PAX East (April 22nd – 24th); hopefully by then we will also have more details to share about them.”
