Spelunky gets Steam, GOG release date

Side-scrolling indie hit Spelunky will return to its PC roots on 8th August, and be available for purchase on Steam and GOG.com.

"Spelunky is returning to PC on August 8th, 2013!", developer Mossmouth wrote on the game's official Tumblr. "The walls are shifting..."

Spelunky was first launched on PC in 2009, but last year grabbed our attention after being reborn into a souped-up Xbox Live Arcade port. The new PC version will include all of the latter's upgrades.

The randomly-generated platformer won huge acclaim from Eurogamer upon its release and was Ellie's Game of the Year for 2012.
