SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA – May 25, 2011 – Double Fine Productions is proud to announce that TRENCHED will be released on Xbox LIVE Arcade on June 22, 2011. That leaves you with roughly one month’s time to get your manly affairs in order. Gather your friends and prepare to enlist in the Mobile Trench Brigade to defend humanity from the Monovision menace!
Brad Muir, Project Lead on TRENCHED, had this to say: “You’re probably not even reading this part of the press release right now because we sent a video along with it. And honestly that’s fine; the video has all the information you need. Except the price. Oh crap we forgot to put that in the video. Ok I’ll just say it right here. It’s 1200 Microsoft Points. Did you get that? Maybe we should make that bold if you’re going to have it in a quote like this.”
Muir’s rambling continued: “We’re super excited to unleash TRENCHED into the wild. I’ve always loved co-op games and it’s awesome to contribute with a game like this.”
