Independent developer DrinkBox Studios confirmed today that its PlayStation®Vita handheld entertainment system title Tales from Space: Mutant Blobs Attack is through final testing and on target to make launch.  The game is officially set to be released on the North American PlayStation®Store on February 21, 2012 and in supported PAL territories on February 22.  DrinkBox also revealed that the game will be specially priced at just $7.99 in North America.

“We’re thrilled to have Mutant Blobs Attack as one of the first PlayStation®Vita downloadable titles, and for us to have hit our day-one launch goal,” said Ryan MacLean, CEO of DrinkBox Studios. “Everyone at DrinkBox Studios is super happy with the end product and we decided to sell it for only $7.99. It’s a crazy low price point.  Insanely low.  I’m insane.  HUUAGGGGH Backflip!”

In celebration of the release of Mutant Blobs, DrinkBox Studios also revealed that they have created a new premium bundle for the game’s PlayStation®3 system predecessor, Tales from Space: About a Blob. “We’re also going to start selling the original About a Blob for $7.99 and a new bundle pack with About a Blob and bunch of DLC for $9.99. I’m crazy for setting these prices, but you’d be crazier for not taking advantage of them. Don’t be like me.”
