Previously, ACE Team co-founder Carlos Bordeu told us about his studios' interest in bringing the delightfully bizarre Zeno Clash over to Xbox LIVE Arcade. Having been powered by the Source Engine on PC, the transition to Xbox 360 for the first-person brawler seemed like the way to go.
And, according to publisher Atlus, it was. As spotted by NeoGAF user Volcynika, the Ultimate Edition will bring new "modes, features, added content, and improvements based on fan feedback." One such addition is the co-op Tower Challenge mode.
ACE Team has been graciously supportive of Zeno Clash on PC post-launch, so it'll be interesting to see if these extra features in the XBLA version get added back to the original by way of a patch. To be fair, I suppose you have to give people a reason to want the shiny new package, right?
Not that the game's melee system didn't work well on the standard mouse plus keyboard combo (it did), but I think tackling Zeno Clash with a controller may very well be something worth experiencing. Also, Achievements -- don't act like you don't want 'em.
Jordan Devore is Destructoid's PC gaming manager and founding ginger editor. He is said to be easy to love but difficult to know. When Samit inquired about his curious bio photo Jordan simply replied:
"bitches love sandcastles" ... yet, there is no sandcastle in that photo. We may never truly understand his ways.

So it's pretty gewd.
Download it, man. It's worth it just for the deliciously weird experience. It's the most alien, un-human, unsettling setting I've seen in a game since Shadow of the Beast. Seriously, that game was waaaaaaay more screwed up than people remember it to be.
The critically acclaimed first-person melee action adventure game honored for its unique visual style is headed to Xbox LIVE Arcade in the vastly enhanced and much improved Zeno Clash: Ultimate Edition.
New modes, new features, and added content, in addition to a series of improvements based on fan feedback, combine to make the [b]definitive version[b] of the game.
I did! That's the only way to play Zeno Clash PC, babeh! Joy2key.
They're not obliged to give these updates to us PC players but it would be seriously appreciated right up there with CDProjeckt's EE edition of the Witcher.
This game is gonna be amazing on XBLA, I just know it!

For mentioning Fallout, MadMax and Dune in the same sentence, you win one of the internets.
Thank God for XBLA, my PC would never be able to handle it.
Much excite!
