Awesomenauts is set for liftoff on the first days of May
Dutch indie studio Ronimo Games has unveiled the release date for the rather excellent-looking Awesomenauts. The 2D Multiplayer Online Battle Arena title will hit the PlayStation Store in North America on May 1, 2012. On May 2, it will be released on PlayStation Stores elsewhere in the world, as well as on Xbox Live Arcade. Want it on PC? Ronimo would love to bring it to the master race platform, but there seem to be a few bumps on the road to porting it, according to a recent interview with Joystiq. Why not bug them about it during PAX East, between April 6-8 at booth #754? Did you know? You can now get daily or weekly email notifications when humans reply to your comments.
