Nearly three years after it was first teased, indie platformer Limbo has finally been confirmed for an Xbox Live Arcade release, developer Playdate revealed today.  An Independent Games Festival finalist, players assume the role of a young boy in search for the whereabouts of his lost sister. Backed by a unique art style comprised entirely of shades of grey and black, this looks like one to watch.

“The reason for the ‘radio silence’ is that we have been very busy producing the game,” said Playdead CEO and co-founder Dino Patti.
